I searched definitions of culture from different perspectives, like the anthropology view, sociology view, and psychology view, in order to have a more complete definition of it.
ANTHROPOLOGY VIEW
Culture: An historically transmitted pattern of meanings embodied in symbols, a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic forms by means of which men communicate, perpetuate and develop their knowledge about and attitudes toward life.

SOCIOLOGY VIEW
Culture: consists of the beliefs, behaviors, objects and other characteristics common to the members of a particular group or society. Through culture people and groups define themselves, conform to society's shared values, and contribute to society. Thus, culture includes many societal aspects: language, customs, values, norms, mores,rules, tools, technologies, products, organizations, and institutions. This later term institutions refers to cluster of rules and cultural meanings associated with specific social activities. Common institutions are their family, education, religion, work, and health care.
PSYCHOLOGY VIEW
Culture: is the set of ideas, behaviors, attitudes and traditions that exist within large groups of people( usually from a common religion, family or something similar). These ideas, behaviors, traditions, etc are passed on form one generation to the next and typically resistant to change over time. Cultures vary not only across the world, but even right next door.
