WEEK TWO: Day 8 What do we mean when we talk about “Culture”?
Culture is the knowledge shared by a group of people.
Culture is communication, communication is culture.
Culture is a collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another.
Culture refers to the knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving.
A culture is a way of life of a group of people–the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.
