What are the components (parts) of culture?

The culture is the life style of a group of people. The things that make up culture are language, clothes, foods, and drama. The geography will effect the culture, because if they live near the sea their foods and their work will be in the sea. Or if they live in the hot place they won't wear a lot.

Israel stopped the transfer of all goods into Gaza for nearly a week, citing recent militant attacks. It has also prevented journalists, including from the BBC, from entering the territory.

Limited supplies of fuel were sent over on Tuesday after Gaza's only power plant ran out of diesel.

Militants say the mortar and rocket fire is their response to what they say is Israeli aggression against Gaza.

Or if they live in cold places they will wear a lot and their clothes will be very warm. I come from the place that was very hot , so our clothes were very slight and we didn't need to wear a lot of clothes.
