   Tea and Hospitality as Two
Prime Examples.

The word “culture” refers to certain lifestyles,
traditions, behaviors, family and social principles
that members of a community learn through training
and teaching which are then implemented and
practiced in their lives and taught to future
generations. 

Drinking tea directly after each meal in Kurdish
culture, for example, is a habit that came from our
ancestors. If you happen to see a Kurdish person
suffering from headache and hunger, invite them to a
restaurant where Kebab is served and offer them a
cup of tea. They will not forget the favour for the
rest of their lives. 

When we are introduced to a foreigner, we would like
to shake hands and converse warmly. After being away
from family, a relative or friend for a month or
two, we kiss each other's faces and hug tightly when
we meet. These two instances tell us that culture is
based on values-human values. 

The nature of Kurdish society is incredibly diverse.
One can find different religious groups, varied
political beliefs and political parties; various
cultural conventions and habits, a range of family
ceremonies and celebrations; a variety of kinds of
music, national dances and festivals.
