The general culture refers to knowledge of any kind that an individual may possess. This concept is part of the humanist project that has its origins in the Greek paideia, translated by Marco Tulio Cicero under the term humanitas and that was united during the Renaissance to the liberal arts.
El término cultura proviene del vocablo latino cultura y éste a su vez de colore, cuyo sentido es habitar, cultivar, proteger u honrar, sentidos todos aplicables al ámbito del hogar, las tradiciones y las herencias.
