What is Culture?
Culture Scientists and Anthropologists define culture as learned behavior acquired by individuals as members of a social group.
According to Edward Tyler in 1871: culture includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and other capabilities or habits acquired by a group.
Culture is a learned behavior.
Culture is also used to refer to a highly cultivated person versed in art, philosophy, etc.
Culture includes insignificant behavior such as behavior traits, etiquette, food habits, as well as refined arts of a society.
Culture can also be considered as the sum total of human knowledge and acquired behavior of humankind.
Habits or behavior is generally transmitted from members to the young or outsiders until the outsider is also an insider, part of the group.
Language: common way of communication.
Language is a system of verbal and nonverbal symbols used to communicate ideas.
The study of these symbols is what is known as semiotics.
Taboos: strict mores or behavior that is looked down upon in a culture (usually sexual)
Regardless of culture, all cultures include:
a primary means of subsistence
a primary family
a system of kinship
a set of rules of social conduct
religion (belief)
material culture (tools, weapons, clothing)
forms of art
cultural relativism: All cultures are rational in their own terms.
