Culture refers to the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society. It includes a society's language, social habits, arts, religion, and cuisine. Culture is shared and learned by individuals through socialization and enculturation. It encompasses observable patterns like behaviors and interactions as well as deeper cognitive constructs and understandings. Culture varies across different groups and regions and plays an important role in shaping identities.
1. Culture
The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin
"colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture.
A culture is a way of life of a group of people-the behaviors, beliefs, values, and
symbols that they accept without thinking about them.
Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people,
encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts.
Culture is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded
collectively.
Culture is the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.
Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found
in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities,
and habits of the individuals in these groups. Humans acquire culture through
the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the
diversity of cultures across societies.
A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for
behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for
expectations in a social group.
The Center for Advance Research on Language Acquisition goes a step further, defining
culture as shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs and
understanding that are learned by socialization. Thus, it can be seen as the growth of a
group identity fostered by social patterns unique to the group.
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language,
marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we
greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things," Cristina De
Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science.
