About Culture

Culture:

Culture has many definitions but i found one that inmediatly called my attention and i think is very complete to define what culture is.

• Culture is the way of life of a given society. It includes the way people think, act, interact with each other, and make decisions. It also defines what individuals eat, what they wear, what they think is right or wrong, and much more. Culture is passed down from one generation to another. What individuals learn from their parents and those individuals they grew up with, such as teachers, uncles, aunts, and neighbors, is passed down to future generations. Iowa State University. 2005. About Culture [Online] (Updated March 24, 2009). Available at: http://www.celt.iastate.edu/international/Culture3.html

Also the culture can be defined in terms of organisations and corporations like:

• The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group. Wikipedia. Culture [Online] (Updated January 17, 2010). Available at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture

And the classic dictionary definiton:

• The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
