GLOBAL CULTURE Even though every culture is different and unique many cultures also have lots of things in common We can learn a lot from other cultures and share the things we know and like In the past when people started traveling to other cultures they swapped and shared their food They shared traditions and knowledge and people started to adopt things from other cultures into their own For example British people see drinking tea as part of their cultural identity but tea is originally from China and is also an important part of Japanese culture Afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches is a traditional part of English culture In Japan the tea ceremony is an important cultural ritual Tea was originally from China and originated during the Shang dynasty It is also really interesting to explore other cultures and discover new and exciting ways of doing things We can share our ideas and learn new things when cultures meet 6
