sambos994:

Yea, that's what I'm saying. Geographical locations can break up a specific group into smaller groups, due to maybe, the climate or ecosystem. So...I guess that geographical location may apply also. But definitely culture has to do more with groups in my opinion.

I think I can agree with the above. I don't believe culture really exists in a geographical location since it is not the land, and fauna that live the culture but the people.

I think the poster is trying to get you to state your own definition of culture. What the meaning behind it is.
