Main cultural elements
Language
The language identifies a nation or region, but then there may be local dialects or languages that represent more specific cultures.
For example, Catalan, Galician or Basque within Spain; o Guaraní as an indigenous language that coexists with Spanish in Paraguay and in the Río de la Plata area.
-The religion

Group of Orthodox Jews
It is an inherent element of the cultural work of societies from which diverse manifestations and creative processes derive.
Religion, for example, can be decisive in the manifestation of other cultural elements such as clothing, food and daily routines.
-The beliefs and rituals
Beyond the religion itself, beliefs can revolve around it or refer to myths, popular customs or totally pagan practices.
-The dressing
It is a cultural element marked by fashion, by geographical and climatic characteristics of the region or by religion.
In some cases, clothing is an element that clearly identifies the culture of the people they wear, such as the use of burqas by Islamic women.
-Music and dance
The rhythms and instruments of a social group are, if desired, the most descriptive and most important cultural elements.
Music is a universal language and its manifestations are shared, understood and accepted by the majority. This is why music is a very powerful element to expose the culture of a certain social group.
-Culinary traditions
It is here that the combination of different cultures is most clearly perceived. At present it is difficult to recognize own and typical foods of a region without some arriving from other latitudes that come to native complementary recipes.
-Games and sports
Many have already become universal but had a strong local cultural component at the beginning. Others are playful representations of ancestral traditions.
-Architecture
The architecture of a city, country or region makes clear evidence of its history and its influences over the years, not only in terms of architectural styles, but in the use and function that buildings built or have at different times.
