West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade — Attraction in Hong Kong

good leisure place🧐🎞🎉🎉🎉 Culture (/ˈkʌltʃər/) is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. Cultural universals are found in all human societies. These include expressive forms like art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies like tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization (including practices of political organization and social institutions), mythology, philosophy, literature (both written and oral), and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society.

In the humanities, one sense of culture as an attribute of the individual has been the degree to which they have cultivated a particular level of sophistication in the arts, sciences, education, or manners. The level of cultural sophistication has also sometimes been used to distinguish civilizations from less complex societies. Such hierarchical perspectives on culture are also found in class-based distinctions between a high culture of the social elite and a low culture, popular culture, or folk culture of the lower classes, distinguished by the stratified access to cultural capital. In common parlance, culture is often used to refer specifically to the symbolic markers used by ethnic groups to distinguish themselves visibly from each other such as body modification, clothing or jewelry. Mass culture refers to the mass-produced and mass mediated forms of consumer culture that emerged in the 20th century. Some schools of philosophy, such as Marxism and critical theory, have argued that culture is often used politically as a tool of the elites to manipulate the proletariat and create a false consciousness. Such perspectives are common in the discipline of cultural studies. In the wider social sciences, the theoretical perspective of cultural materialism holds that human symbolic culture arises from the material conditions of human life, as humans create the conditions for physical survival, and that the basis of culture is found in evolved biological dispositions.

When used as a count noun, a "culture" is the set of customs, traditions, and values of a society or community, such as an ethnic group or nation. Culture is the set of knowledge acquired over time. In this sense, multiculturalism values the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between different cultures inhabiting the same planet. Sometimes "culture" is also used to describe specific practices within a subgroup of a society, a subculture (e.g. "bro culture"), or a counterculture. Within cultural anthropology, the ideology and analytical stance of cultural relativism hold that cultures cannot easily be objectively ranked or evaluated because any evaluation is necessarily situated within the value system of a given culture.

Etymology The modern term "culture" is based on a term used by the ancient Roman orator Cicero in his Tusculanae Disputationes, where he wrote of a cultivation of the soul or "cultura animi," using an agricultural metaphor for the development of a philosophical soul, understood teleologically as the highest possible ideal for human development. Samuel Pufendorf took over this metaphor in a modern context, meaning something similar, but no longer assuming that philosophy was man's natural perfection. His use, and that of many writers after him, "refers to all the ways in which human beings overcome their original barbarism, and through artifice, become...

I arrived at an unfortunate moment, just as the remnants of a typhoon were still making their presence felt in the form of a light drizzle. Had I not thought to pack my raincoat, I would have been fretting over the safety of my camera, concerned that its delicate components might succumb to the weather.

As I surveyed the area, I noticed that others had already uploaded impressive 360-degree panoramas to Google Maps, showcasing the location in all its glory. This motivated me even more; I was determined to capture a unique perspective that would outshine theirs. After all, what drives us to push our limits if not a little friendly competition? The thrill of striving for excellence adds depth and excitement to our lives.

So, with my raincoat on and my camera ready, I braved the elements, eager to document the beauty that others might overlook. In those moments, the rain became my ally, adding a layer of atmosphere that would transform ordinary shots into something truly extraordinary. Ultimately, it’s this quest for originality and the pursuit of capturing the world through our own lens that makes life vibrant...

A wonderful outdoor, harbor side place to hang out with your friends, family, or even by yourself! -You get sunset view, sea view, and Hong Kong Island view. -Family friendly, as you can easily push your baby stroller around. -They have grassy areas where you can actually walk on and have picnic at.
