Definition

  • Cultural literacy is a concept that individuals with an awareness of and the capacity to comprehend the History, slang, symbols, and customs that construct and organize a dominant culture will be better able to communicate with one another. This form of literacy asks that individuals have a body of shared knowledge, have an understanding of the historical context of a text or an image, know common symbols, can identify the meaning of common words or phrases, and can grasp common literary or cultural references.
