values, knowledge, morals, custom,
symbols and habits acquired by man as

• Culture is transmitted among people of
a society and passed along from one
generation to another by means of
communication and imitation.

society which an individual is nurtured

greet elders in the Yoruba ethnic
group of Nigeria.
