      In our discussions about monuments and statues pertaining to the Holocaust, we often tend to compare this to the United States. I think this is an interesting point, however, because we seldom think about monuments and statues in other European countries, who have done just as much, if not more, damage to the victims of colonization. So, I think this is important to recognize as well.

      Webster's relevant definitions of the word culture already begin to demon-strate just how diverse the concept is: from the pedagogical ("the act of devel-oping the intellectual and moral faculties") to the person~! ("acqua!nt~nce_ with and taste in fine arts, humanities, and broad aspects of science as d1stmgmshed from vocational and technical skills") to the epistemological ("integrated pat-tern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon man's ca-pacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding ge~erati~ns") to the communal ("the customary beliefs, social forms, and matenal traits of a racial, religious, or social group") (Websters Ninth Collegiate Dictionary)
