Culture


culture is shared, it is learned, it is based on symbols, and it is integrated. The members of a culture share a set of "ideals, values, and standards of behavior," and this set of shared . what give meaning to their lives, and what bonds them together as a culture. Culture is not an innate sensibility, but a learned characteristic. Children begin learning about their culture at home with their immediate family and how they interact with each other, how they dress, and the rituals they perform. When the children are older and venture out into the community, their cultural education is advanced by watching social interactions, taking part in cultural activities and rituals in the community, and forming their own relationships and taking their place in the culture. . In order for the culture to be transmitted successfully from one person to the next, and from one generation to the next, a system of symbols needs to be created that translates the ideals of the culture to its members. This is accomplished through language, art, religion, and money. Finally, in order to keep the culture functioning all aspects of the culture must be integrated. . For example the language must be able to describe all the functions within the culture in order for ideas and ideals to be transmitted from one person to another. Without the integration of language into the fabric of the culture, confusion and dysfunction would reign and the culture would fail. In different country , some special incidents is happening. and the next i would like to tell something about different culture of some country.
