Culture can be defined as the way of life of an individual or group, including their beliefs, values, traditions, and customs. It includes both material and non-material aspects that are learned and shared within a group and transmitted across generations. While culture and civilization are often used interchangeably, they differ in that culture refers to the inner refinement of people, including arts and sciences, whereas civilization is more related to external development and organization of society. Cultural heritage encompasses the aspects of culture passed down from ancestors, including both tangible elements like architecture as well as intangible elements like knowledge and traditions.
This document discusses the concept of culture and its relationship to architecture. It defines culture as consisting of values, norms, institutions, and artifacts that are transmitted across generations. Values represent what is important to a group, norms define expected behaviors, institutions establish structures for transmitting culture, and artifacts are material objects derived from cultural values and norms. The document notes that cultural backgrounds can influence architectural elements and building specifications. It prompts the reader to analyze how their upbringing influenced a building's design and to submit their response on A4 sheets by a specified date.

This document discusses the concept of culture from a sociological perspective. It begins by defining culture as the common understanding and way of life learned through social interaction. Culture exists within different social contexts and settings. Humans live in diverse natural environments that influence the development of different cultures as people adapt different strategies for coping. Cultures are always changing and cannot be ranked, but judged based on their ability to cope with environmental strains. The document then examines cognitive, normative, and material dimensions of culture.

Characteristics of Culture by Mark Elnar [Recovered].pptxMarkElnar1
The document discusses the key characteristics of culture. It defines culture as the shared beliefs, knowledge, customs, and habits that are learned and transmitted between members of a society. The characteristics described are that culture is learned, shared, symbolic, integrated, adaptive, and dynamic. Culture is passed down from generation to generation through experiential learning and immersive exposure to cultural behaviors, values, traditions, and rituals.
The document defines culture as everything learned or shared by members of a society, including values, beliefs, behaviors, and material objects. Culture is learned and differs between societies. It is shared and passed down through communication and imitation between generations. Culture includes both material aspects like clothing and tools, as well as non-material aspects like social roles, rules, and beliefs. Civilization concentrates power and extends human control over nature, while a culture exists within a civilization. Culture and civilization are related but distinct, with civilization being more measurable and externally focused, while culture reveals the nature of individuals and groups.

It discusses the importance of studying history to understand how modern Indian society and culture emerged. The Harappan civilization, dated to around 2700 BC, was the first known urban culture in India and was centered along the Indus river valley. It declined around 1800 BC for unknown reasons. The subsequent Vedic culture flourished in the same region and spread across the Ganga-Yamuna plains, distinguished by compositions in the Vedic texts which were transmitted orally.

The document discusses how culture unites people in society, gives them a shared identity through customs and traditions, and serves as the foundation for an individual's values and way of life. It provides examples of how culture binds communities through shared language, practices like food and drink, and values passed down through books and parenting. Culture is therefore essential to defining who people are as individuals and how they live as members of a larger social group.
Culture refers to the universal human capacity to classify and communicate experiences symbolically. Culture consists of the way of life for an entire society, including codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, norms of behavior and systems of belief. A common way to understand culture is that it comprises four elements that are passed down through generations: values about what seems important in life, norms regarding expected behaviors in different situations, institutions that transmit values and norms, and artifacts like aspects of material culture that derive from a culture's values and norms.

Caribbean culture is a rich blend of European, African, Indian, and indigenous influences that developed in response to the harsh realities of colonial rule. It shows both the colonial powers' attempts to impose their culture on the colonies, as well as the coping strategies developed by colonized peoples, such as retaining African spiritual songs and crafts despite attempts to strip away their cultural identities. Caribbean culture has been shaped over time by the legacy of plantation slavery and indigenous peoples, as well as more recent migration, education, technology, and political changes that have contributed to its diversity.
Culture is a complex concept that can be defined in various ways. Broadly, culture refers to the learned behaviors, beliefs, values, and customs that are shared by a group of people. It encompasses aspects like communication styles, norms, food, art, and clothing. Culture is passed down through generations, shaping how individuals and groups perceive and interact with the world. While cultures vary widely, there are also common elements like gender roles that are shared across societies. Culture plays a significant role in human development and social cohesion.

INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE - AN INTRODUCTIONSheraniDaniel
Cultural anthropology is the scientific study of humans, human behavior, and societies. It includes norms, values, and the study of both past and present human cultures and societies. Architectural anthropology seeks to understand how architecture influences people by shaping them and sustaining social relations. Anthropology also studies physical, linguistic, cultural, and archaeological aspects of human beings and societies. It explores human evolution and analyzes modern cultures and languages to reconstruct past societies and civilizations.
This document defines and discusses different types of culture, including physical culture, corporate culture, culture of diversity, popular culture, foreign culture, high culture, and sophisticated taste. It explains that culture refers to the cumulative knowledge, experiences, beliefs, and values acquired by a group over generations. Different types of culture can be seen in how people dress, design spaces, treat each other, and engage with ideas and art. Understanding different cultures provides insight into the world.
Cultural relativism is an important concept in anthropology that emerged in response to ethnocentrism. It argues that a culture should only be understood within the context of its own traditions and history, not by another cultural standard. Franz Boas is considered the founder of cultural relativism, arguing that cultures cannot be objectively ranked as superior or inferior. His student Ruth Benedict further developed these ideas in her works exploring different cultural practices in their own contexts. While cultural relativism aims to avoid ethnocentrism, some argue it can also hinder cross-cultural understanding if taken to an extreme. Finding the right balance is an ongoing discussion.
This document provides an introduction to cultural heritage. It defines heritage as anything important passed to future generations. Heritage is divided into natural heritage like landscapes and cultural heritage like traditions. Cultural heritage includes tangible sites and monuments as well as intangible aspects like folklore. Understanding a site's historical, social, aesthetic, and scientific significance helps determine management policies. Cultural identity is nurtured by a country's cultural heritage through understanding tangible sites and cultural behaviors, values, and traditions.

1.2 CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION
The word ‘culture’and ‘civilization’are often used synonymously. However, they have
clearlydefinedmeaningsdifferentiatingthem.‘Civilization’meanshavingbetterwaysof
livingandsometimesmakingnaturebendtofulfilltheirneeds.Italsoincludesorganizing
societiesintopoliticallywell-definedgroupsworkingcollectivelyforimprovedconditions
of life in matters of food, dress, communication, and so on. Thus some groups consider
themselvesascivilizedandlookdownuponothers.Thisdispositionofcertaingroupshas
evenledtowarsandholocausts,resultinginmassdestructionofhumanbeings.
On the other hand ‘culture’ refers to the inner being, a refinement of head and heart. This
includes arts and sciences, music and dance and various higher pursuits of human life
which are also classified as cultural activities. One who may be poor and wearing cheap
clothesmaybeconsidered‘uncivilized’,butstillheorshemaybethemostculturedperson.
One possessing ostentatious wealth may be considered as ‘civlilized’ but he may not be
cultured’
Therefore,whenwethinkofculture,wehavetounderstandthatitisdifferentfromcivilization.

more. This is how culture is transmitted and carried forward from generation to next
generation. The culture we inherit from our predecessors is called our cultural heritage.
This heritage exists at various levels. Humanity as a whole has inherited a culture which
may be called human heritage.Anation also inherits a culture which may be termed as
nationalculturalheritage.
Culturalheritageincludesallthoseaspectsorvaluesofculturetransmittedtohumanbeings
by their ancestors from generation to generation. They are cherished, protected and
maintainedbythemwithunbrokencontinuityandtheyfeelproudofit.
Afew examples would be helpful in clarifying the concept of heritage.TheTaj Mahal,
Swami Narayan Temple of Gandhinagar and Delhi, Red Fort ofAgra, Delhi’s Qutub
Minar,MysorePalace,JainTempleofDilwara(Rajasthan)NizamuddinAulia’sDargah,
GoldenTempleofAmritsar,GurudwaraSisganjofDelhi,SanchiStupa,ChristianChurch
in Goa, India Gate etc., are all important places of our heritage and are to be protected by
allmeans.

1.4 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURE
Now let us discuss some general characteristics, which are common to different cultures
throughouttheworld.
1. Culture is learned and acquired: Culture is acquired in the sense that there are
certain behaviours which are acquired through heredity. Individuals inherit certain
qualities from their parents but socio-cultural patterns are not inherited. These are
learntfromfamilymembers,fromthegroupandthesocietyinwhichtheylive.Itisthus
apparent that the culture of human beings is influenced by the physical and social
environmentthroughwhichtheyoperate.
2. Culture is shared by a group of people:Athought or action may be called culture
if it is shared and believed or practiced by a group of people.
3. Culture is cumulative: Different knowledge embodied in culture can be passed
fromonegenerationtoanothergeneration.Moreandmoreknowledgeisaddedinthe

1.5 IMPORTANCE OF CULTURE IN HUMAN LIFE
Cultureiscloselylinkedwithlife.Itisnotanadd-on,anornamentthatweashumanbeings
can use. It is not merely a touch of colour. It is what makes us human. Without culture,
there would be no humans. Culture is made up of traditions, beliefs, way of life, from the
mostspiritualtothemostmaterial.Itgivesusmeaning,awayofleadingourlives.Human
beings are creators of culture and, at the same time, culture is what makes us human.

only one right way of living or that any one is valid. The need for coexistence makes the
coexistenceofculturesandbeliefsnecessary.Inordertonotmakesuchmistakes,thebest
thing we can do is get to know other cultures, while also getting to know our own. How
can we dialogue with other cultures, if we don’t really know what our own culture is?
The three eternal and universal values ofTruth, Beauty and Goodness are closely linked
with culture. It is culture that brings us closer to truth through philosophy and religion; it

that makes us ethical beings by bringing us closer to other human beings and teaching us
the values of love, tolerance and peace.
