How to use culture in a sentence?

  1. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy:

    Since I got here, I've been talking about changing the culture of Police Department in a positive fashion. There are some very good things about Police Department that I found when I got here, we're building on those, and we're trying to revamp anything that's negative.

  2. Logan Edra:

    It being in the Olympics, it makes sense that people would refer to it as (a sport) but I think one thing for the breaking community is we want to make sure that it’s not known as just a sport but an art, a sport, a culture.

  3. Carl Nassib:

    I just think that representation and visibility are so important, i actually hope that one day videos like this and the whole coming out process are just not necessary. But until then, I'm going to do my best and do my part to cultivate a culture that's accepting, that's compassionate.

  4. Terence Crutcher:

    It's just simply a continuation of what's been going on for years, the same culture that burned down Black Wall Street and killed innocent people and ran my great grandmother from her home with the same culture, the same police and culture that killed Terence.

  5. Veterans Affairs:

    Taxpayers need to know that we will engage in good faith settlement negotiations, where required by third parties, but will look to settle with employees only when they clearly have been wronged or when settlement is otherwise in the veterans ’ and taxpayers ’ best interests, and not as a matter of ordinary business, we’re changing to a culture of accountability at The VA, and this is an important step in that direction.
