custom, and any other
capabilities and habits

member of society.’

of and for behaviour acquired and transmitted
by symbols, constituting the distinctive
achievements of human groups, including their
embodiment in artifacts; the essential core of
culture consists of traditional (i.e. historically
derived and selected) ideas and especially their
attached values; culture systems may, on the
one hand, be considered as products of action,
on the other, as conditional elements of future
action.’
Kroeber & Kluckhohn,1952

values, orientations to life, beliefs, policies,
procedures and behavioural conventions that
are shared by a group of people, and that
influence (but do not determine) each
member’s behaviour and his/her interpretations
of the ‘meaning’ of other people’s behaviour.’
Spencer-Oatey,2008
