 RACE,  ETHNICITY  AND   CULTURE

Race, culture and ethnicity are three words that we often hear in our daily lives. Are these words synonyms? No, they are not synonyms. Race and ethnicity are used to classify certain sections of the population. Basically, race describes physical characteristics and ethnicity is cultural identity. Race is something you learn and culture can be identified as something you inherit. Next Racism. We can define it as an evil. Unpleasant thing.

      ARE RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURE SYNONYMS?

Race, ethnicity and culture can’t consider as synonyms. They are different. Many people misunderstand that race and ethnicity are one and the same. But there are many differences between race and ethnicity. Race is a very narrow subject. It was based on similar physical and biological properties. But ethnicity is a very broad subject. It is based on cultural expression and starting point.

Culture includes race and ethnicity, but transcends those identities. Race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and social class are different aspects of our personal identity and we use membership with others to create a common cultural identity:

 The human race

Here we can get specialist advice to biology and especially human genetics. With regard to the unity of mankind, scientific observation confirms that Homo sapiens is a single species. To ensure that there are all sorts of endemic variations within the species, many of them seem to have emerged in response to adaptation to specific habitats from several generations; Moreover, at least some of these adaptations have made more or less observable changes in physical appearance. Even so, people of all races, colors and appearances can successfully breed with each other, and the children of all such unions are fertile. [1]
