Preferred term

national culture  

Definition

  • National cultures are the designs for living that people identified by nation are perceived to share, including attributes such as language, dress, style, diet, religion, sports, leisure, and consumption patterns. Numerous works on particular national cultures have been published, often within a narrative frame of redemption or decline, but attempts to verify generalizations and assumptions about national cultures and cultural differences in behavior, sentiments, beliefs, practices, and attitudes have had limited success.
