ABSTRACT

Culture as a people's way of life is the common definition of culture. However, there is what is known as the proper definition of culture. It is a people`s response to the challenges of existence in order to ensure the good life. This definition gives meaning to every other definition of culture as it is based on the essence of culture. This discourse assesses the possibility of the whole world having one and the same culture from the point of view of the proper definition. Through critical analysis it finds that, in the essence of what culture is all about, all cultures of the world are the same. However, this sameness in culture when it operates in particular situations of human environments, it diversifies. Thus, there is the call for universal and particular considerations in matters of people`s attitude towards life. It is hoped that this will ensure a more peaceful world, reducing some of the unnecessary tensions in our world.
