culture

The totality of communication practices and systems of meaning; a whole way of life of a people; the social production and reproduction of sense, meaning and consciousness. Culture does not express the way of life of a people, it actively shapes up that way of life.

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."

culture

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.

Within their contexts these definitions were accepted.

Therefore the true question is: "Which meaning does the person who said it intended to say?"
Culture is a term that has different meanings, depending on who said it.
