What Makes a Culture 'Unique' or 'Common'?

Imagine all the different ways people around the world live and play. Some have special traditions, like wearing silly costumes for holidays or eating food that smells funny. But others might do similar things, like singing songs together or telling stories before bedtime. That’s what makes a culture unique or common: whether it has something only that group does, or something many groups share.
