"Culture refers to the relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people, consisting of their values, beliefs, artifacts, ways of behaving and ways of communicating, that is passed on from one generation to the next through communication rather than through genes.

And those generations may be within the new culture, like the WW2 Marines, the Vietnam-era Marines and the Iraq-era Marines just as much as grandparents of Kurds, Danes, Italians, Bolivians, Hell's Angels, Malayans, Sikhs, Thais, etc.

Leaving New Jersey and qualifying to be in the 82nd Airborne Division is joining a new culture. If you knew nothing about paratroopers, you would have a difficult task in understanding them...but they fit the definition above for a culture." states Dr. Faulkner
