The word culture, in itself, implies no kind of value-judgement. It is just a catch-all term to describe the "ways" of a certain group of people. One type of culture is Youth Culture. I'm sure that THAT is of concern to ugly old literature teachers.

Depends entirely on the context. As an Anthropologist, to me it means the mores, the ways of a people. To a doctor it might mean the medium and growing icky stuff to study. To a farmer, to a dancer, to an aristocrat..... English is too imprecise to really make much sense. If native English speakers were not so arrogant, we'd use some other language, one that means what it says and says what it means.

Excellence in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits. Why you think this might be just for old literature teachers is beyond me. Culture is something we should all cultivate as it improves us, our towns, and the world in general.

Culture to me is the ability to transmit information to a group of individuals and then have them do something because the culture has a use for it.

Culture, to me, means a type of behavior or beliefs that is common to a certain region or country.

Something in a petri dish or something I have to collect with rubber gloves and a Q-tip. I'm a nurse.
