What makes our culture?

Well that answer is right in front of you.

Cars, fast food, discount warehouses, the internet, congested freeways, the list goes on.

Find an image that can tell something of our culture.

Basic Editing.

I don't think we share a universal culture; the suggestion is, however, a good one, but might benefit from a Y before the 'our'...

I think I'm gonna enjoy both shooting for, and voting for this challenge topic (if it sees the light of day). Good thinking!

cul·ture
1. The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
2. These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population: Edwardian culture; Japanese culture; the culture of poverty.
3. These patterns, traits, and products considered with respect to a particular category, such as a field, subject, or mode of expression: religious culture in the Middle Ages; musical culture; oral culture.

I really love the idea but would like to see an expanded explanation to include the above definitions. It does not need to be just tied to the material objects of an industrialized world (i.e. cars, internet, fast food). It can reach into tradition such as festivals, traditional dances, etc. etc.
