What’s the difference between these word: Custom,Tradition, and culture?

Human being are using them extensivly to mask most of stupidity of other.

yes you got it right: though customs, traditions and other kind of stuff that people made up are part of the so called "culture", which it’s nothing but a combination of things people has stated as theirs; basically to difference one from another.

A Look Inside the Vogt Shop

The Vogt silver shop has been building beautiful, hand-crafted western sterling accessories for over 40 years. Located in Old Mexico, it draws upon the region’s 400 years of silversmithing tradition which began with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores and the development of the Mexican vaquero. Their original methods and knowledge were passed on to early Spanish Californians, the native Americans of the southwest, and the western silversmiths of the 20th century. From these great teachers many North American artisans learned techniques still practiced today, so we like to say that “four centuries of tradition go into every piece we build. Please take a peek into our shop with this video as we invite you to see how each Vogt piece is individually hand made…one-at-a-time, by hand and heart…

Audemars Piguet – Jules Audemars 3 – Equation du Temps

www.victorinoxblog.com Audemars Piguet’s history In 1875, in the Swiss village of Le Brassus, two young men passionately dedicated to fine watchmaking, Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, decided to unite their skills in order to design and produce watches with complex mechanisms. Their determination, imagination and discipline were soon to earn them noteworthy success. Around 1885, they set up a subsidiary in Geneva and in 1889 established new commercial relations at the Universal Exposition in Paris where they presented some complex pocket-watches. While the Manufacture Audemars Piguet has developed considerably since then, the spirit of high standards, inventiveness and watchmaking passion that drove its founder still persists, daily guiding the company in its choices. Today, Audemars Piguet remains the oldest Manufacture of Haute Horlogerie never to have left the hands of its founding families. More than 700 employees worldwide, including 550 on the three production sites located in Switzerland, and more than 24000 watches produced each year, express its dynamism, its independence and its spirit of genuine creative daring. 1892 World première: Audemars Piguet develops and completes the first minute repeater wristwatch. 1899 A “Grande Complication” pocket-watch emerges from the Audemars Piguet work-shops. It is equipped with grand and small strike and minute repeater chiming on three gongs, with an alarm striking on independent gongs, perpetual calendar

Korean folk dance (Pungmul)

This is a video I took during Day 2 of the 2010 ICC/BICOF in Bucheon, Korea. The delegates were treated to a traditional Korean folk dance performance called “Pungmul”. Enjoy! *** Pungmul is a Korean folk music tradition that includes drumming, dancing, and singing. Most performances are outside, with tens of players, all in constant motion. Pungmul is rooted in the dure (collective labor) farming culture. It was originally played as part of farm work, on rural holidays, at other village community-building events, and in shamanistic rituals. Pungmul performers wear a variety of colorful costumes. A flowery version of the Buddhist kkokkal is the most common head-dress. Advanced performers sometimes wear sangmo, which are hats with long ribbon attached to them that players can spin and flip in intricate patterns by moving their heads. (Wikipedia) ***

Any examples of toursists getting in trouble, because they are unaware of local customs?

Any examples of toursists getting in trouble, because they are unaware of local customs?
I’d like to know the examples of tourists getting in trouble because they weren’t aware of local customs, tradition and culture.
The only example I remember is a British couple being sentenced to 3 months of imprisonment for sex on the beach.
Help is very appreciated, I need this for my essay.
Thanks in advance!

I remember something about chewing gum and Singapore (I think)-try a google on that.

What is the difference between culture and heritage?

My grandfather says "heritage is what you live for and culture is how you go about it. And we must assimilate to the general culture but not reject and abandon our heritage." He says this is why the U.S. flourished in the southwest because white Europeans assimilated to Mexican equestrian culture but never abandoned their European heritage and why we lost Vietnam because the "dirty hippies" tried to change the culture by neglecting their heritage.

Heritage is birthright, Culture is a set of shared beliefs or attitudes.
