Culture
Culture () is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. Some aspects of human behavior, social practices such as culture, expressive forms such as art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies such as tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing are said to be cultural universals, found in all human societies. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization (including practices of political organization and social institutions), mythology, philosophy, literature (both written and oral), and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society.

Identity
Loss of identity drives people to nostalgia. Electronic man has no physical body, so he puts nostalgia in its place.
As quoted in "McLuhan's last words" by Stewart Brand, New Scientist (29 January 1981).
Identity
My identity might begin with the fact of my race, but it didn't, couldn't end there. At least that's what I would choose to believe.
Barack Obama, in Navigating Multiple Identities: Race, Gender, Culture, Nationality, and Roles, p. 53.
Identity
A lot of kids are bullied because of their sexual identity or expression. It's often the effeminate boys and the masculine girls, the ones who violate gender norms and expectations, who get bullied.
