Hi, Can you tell me how can a person use the word 'culture' countably?<br/><br/>Japanese culture -- no article seems necessary.<br/><br/>Let me try with the word 'history'.<br/><br/><i>Japanese history -- no article seems necessary.<br/>a media history -- an article seems</i> <i>necessary<br/></i><br/>Having said that, the distinction between the examples is hard to make for me. Can you help?
