ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cultural practice

Cultural practice means the things that people in a certain group or community do that are important to them and that have been passed down from generation to generation. Imagine you have a special family recipe that your grandma taught your mom and your mom taught you. This recipe is a part of your family's cultural practice because it's something that your family has been doing for many years and it has a special meaning to you.

Cultural practices can also include things like the way people dress, celebrate holidays, speak their language, or even the way they greet each other. In some cultures, it's important to bow when you meet someone, while in others, a handshake is more common.

It's important to respect and learn about other people's cultural practices because they are a part of who they are and what's important to them. Plus, it's a great way to learn about different parts of the world and the people who live there!
