What do you have to know to be culturally literate?
Some examples of having cultural literacy include possessing the knowledge about what road signs mean, who prominent historical figures are, what different religions beliefs are, what celebrations certain cultures celebrate, and also the sayings and idioms that are found around the world. These are just of few of the examples of background knowledge that could make you more culturally literate, which would in turn, potentially guide you to a deeper comprehension of texts about these subjects.
