4. Culture defined…
“Culture… is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals,
law, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by [a human] as a
member of society.”
E.B. Tylor (1871)
. "Culture appears to have become key in our interconnected world, which is
made up of so many ethnically diverse societies, but also riddled by conflicts
associated with religion, ethnicity, ethical beliefs, and, essentially, the elements
which make up culture,"
De Rossi

5. Culture defined…
Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired
and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human
groups, including their embodiments in artifacts; the essential core of culture
consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values; culture systems
may, on the one hand, be considered as products of action, on the other hand, as
conditioning influences upon further action.
Kroeber, A. L., & Kluckhohn, C. (1952)
