Culture is a vague but meaningless term used by clueless high school sports team coaches, which tries to shift the focus of a team's success from the talent of the players to the "vision" or other attributes of the coach.
"We had a normal coach here last season who said the only time he wanted to hear the word "culture" was if they were going to culture brain tissue from a dead player to see if he had CTE."

A word, as such, represented in many ways through human language: either as a sound or an image(characters).
Many, many different people, all across the world, have given a differrent meaning, their own meaning to this sound/image.
