    This document discusses culture and why it is important to study. It begins by defining culture as the psychological aspects of groups, including languages, modes of thinking, values, and norms. It then discusses how culture differs across groups and questions whether common psychological theories, like the Big Five personality traits, exist universally across countries. The document emphasizes that studying culture is important for international understanding, ensuring research has external validity beyond Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic societies, and for fully understanding people by considering their cultural lens and experiences.
