Culture is closely related to knowledge as it shapes our knowledge into unique experiences. Therefore the heritage and culture that people are exposed to can determine the type of knowledge they receive and the experiences they go through, particularly because of that culture.

In the pictures above, is an example of an experience that I have encountered in one of my recent trips home, in Romania where I have come across remarkable landmarks and architecture. This example is representative of how my Romanian heritage can offer completely different experiences and knowledge about the history, culture and traditions of the country and how the heritage and culture that another individual is exposed to can offer them different possibilities or experiences.

Some might say that culture may have originated from knowledge, although I believe that lot of knowledge which we have acquired over time and posses today developed and exists through culture. Many ideas, social behaviours and customs which we are aware of and have experienced, originated from culture and religion, therefore culture helps us accumulate knowledge over the years through experiential living.

So can there be knowledge without culture? Well yes, it is possible to have knowledge which is separate and independent of our culture, but in my opinion it is not possible to have beliefs which are independent of our culture as culture is one of the main factors that influence our beliefs, the way we think and see things in society due to the ways we have been brought up in our culture.

Language is also a huge factor as it points to the culture of a specific group. Learning a language is not only learning the meaning of words, and the grammar rules , but it is also learning the behaviour of the society and the ways and behaviours of that culture.
