I found that there is a wide ranging usage for just this word. Some people use this word to form pages and form online communities in which others can relate to a specific culture. Others use it to raise awareness of certain negative customs in a culture, such as diminishing the role and education of women. Furthermore, some people use this word to mock a culture, stereotype a culture, or exaggerate specific characteristics of a culture. Thus, there are both negative and positive uses of #culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 One of the users of Twitter has used #culture to declare a stereotypical point of view of Asian languages, stating that these points of views are funny.

The level of maturity of the users on these social media cites is wide ranging. Thus, their level of sensitivity towards the wide ranging topics in this world can really vary. Some users take social, economic and political issues far more seriously than other users. In addition, some users show more respect to the diversity in this world than other users.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In general, these contradictory hashtags say a lot about society.
