Even cultures that may not be traditional have different styles of dress. Religious or spiritual beliefs also vary from culture to culture. Beliefs are something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction. Culture includes different styles of cooking with different types of food and seasonings. Traditions are customs or beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation within a society and are still practiced today.
