Cultural identity refers to the shared identity of a cultural group. Features of cultural identities include race, ethnicity, religion, gender norms, customs, and traditions. Friedman (1994, p. 29) provides a scholarly definition: "Cultural identity is the generic concept referring to the attribution of a set of qualities of a given population."

You know that you are different from others in your culture. Other cultures are as diverse.
