I can't seem to understand what cultural practices are..

Can any of you guys give me example of different cultural practices?

I need to search Lebanese's Cultural Practices but cant' quite understand what it is..

Is it alright if i guess?... Well i think it means what do they do, like example: africans make beads the candans chop wood

Cultural practices
May relate to language, shared sense of history, religious and spiritual observances; protocol, eating and drinking habits; prohibitions and taboos; forms of artistic expression

in other words acts.things .that the culture you are studying..seem to do as part  of that culture...
usually something you notice that lebanese bring to other countries when they move to your country ...such as differnce of beleifs...perhaps diet ..the way they school...dress ..etc

a practice: something which is done on a regulary basis
cultural: anything todo with a culture

cultural practice: something which that culture does and which is unique (or as good as) to that culture.

In Lebanon for example, in the region of Ba’albek and the Mountain, when a baby boy is born, it is still said, “we have increased by one gun”. In many counties in the Middle East, it is regarded as natural and useful that families possess a weapon. Culturally, firing weapons is even portrayed as an expression of happiness in private or public occasions. In the year 2000, there were 40 such cases reported to have taken place in Jordan.

that would be a typical cultural practice of the region of Ba’albek.



Google search: lebanese cultural practices
more complex/refined Google search: (lebanese OR lebanon) ("cultural practice" OR "cultural practices")
