--Culture provides a context in which three aspects of human society are embedded: linguistic, physical, and psychological (Borden, 1991).
Language allows us to communicate with people who have similar value and belief system. Physical aspects supply an environment of activities and permit what we do within the culture. Finally, the psychological aspect is related to our mental activities, including what we believe and what we have learned.

-- To familiarize you with basic concepts of intercultural communication.
