Values and social practices of a group of people (7)
I believe the answer is:
culture
(Other definitions for culture that I've seen before include "Set of ideas and values of a group" , "Disorientation caused by a complete change environment" , "Obsessive lover of the arts (with a bird)" , "Refinement - micro-organisms in a medium" , "Grow (eg, bacteria, tissue cells) in artificial media" .)
