The key elements of culture are beliefs, values, norms, and sanctions. Beliefs represent people's ideas about how the world works, values indicate what is good or bad, norms are rules of behavior, and sanctions reward or punish those behaviors. Culture is also composed of material aspects like artifacts, food, clothing, and technology used to produce tools and shelter.
Cross-Cultural Communication

It describes culture as a complex, learned system that is both visible and invisible, combining values, traits, and customs. Cultures are inherently logical yet dynamic and change over time. Prototypes represent general characteristics of cultures that may change based on new information. Key dimensions of culture discussed are context, communication style, individualism, and time orientation. The document provides tips for improving intercultural communication such as avoiding ethnocentrism, bridging cultural gaps through empathy and patience, and adapting to different communication norms.

4. typologies of culture
There are several typologies that attempt to categorize and compare cultures:
1) Edward Hall distinguished between high-context and low-context cultures, where high-context cultures communicate more implicitly and low-context cultures more explicitly.
2) Geert Hofstede studied IBM employees worldwide and identified five dimensions of national culture: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, and long-term orientation.
3) Florence Kluckhohn and Fred Strodtbeck proposed several orientations for analyzing cultures, such as human nature, relation to environment, social relationships, and time orientation.

Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectivity between people worldwide through the free movement of goods, capital, services, people, technology and information. It has two main facets: the globalization of markets and the globalization of production. Localization is the process of making something specific to a particular place. It involves developing products or services in a way that localization is relatively easy to achieve. Localization anticipates local customs and practices to preserve local identities despite globalization forces.
Cross Cultural Communication

Cross culture communication
Cross-cultural communication is important for business opportunities, job opportunities, and sharing ideas in an increasingly globalized world. It involves understanding how people from different cultures communicate similarly and differently, and how to communicate across cultural boundaries. A culture is a lens through which people view and understand the world, and see how to express themselves. As cultures come into greater contact with one another, the ability to communicate across cultures becomes more essential.

Globalisation, its challenges and advantages
Globalization is a complex process that has accelerated dramatically in recent decades due to reductions in transportation and communication barriers. It involves the growing integration of economies and societies around the world through increased cross-border trade, investment, and cultural exchange. While globalization has connected people in unprecedented ways and increased economic growth in many places, it has also increased inequality and cultural homogenization in some areas. The document traces the history of globalization from early empires through modern increases in international institutions and advances in technology that have further driven global integration.
Introduction to Cultural Diversity
Cultural diversity is the term used to describe many different cultures co-existing within one larger culture. The fact that we can eat so many different types of cuisine in the United States is because people from other countries have immigrated to the US and brought aspects of their own cultures with them. This means that under the umbrella of American culture there are actually many different ethnic traditions being practiced in communities around the country.
As an abstract concept, cultural diversity is actually pretty straightforward; however, finding a concrete definition of culture can be a little bit tricky. This is because the definition of culture can change depending on who's using it and the context in which it's being used. For example, some people use the term to describe the creative arts, like dancing or painting, while others use it in a much broader context to refer to all of the traditions, practices, and belief systems of a particular population of people. For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to look at culture as the latter of these two definitions.

Cultural studies borrows from various disciplines like sociology and philosophy. It aims to examine culture and power relations, understand culture in complex forms, and analyze social and political contexts. To study culture, concepts like signs are important - having a concrete form, referring to something, and being recognizable. Cultural studies originated from the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies and concerns changing English cultural life. Major issues include identity, representation, spaces, high/popular culture, and consumption.
Culture and Cultural Studies (Introduction)
Culture refers to the whole way of life of a group of people, including their beliefs, values, norms, and material goods. Raymond Williams argued that culture includes both the high arts as well as everyday meanings and practices. British Cultural Studies emerged from thinkers like Richard Hoggart and Raymond Williams who studied culture as the ordinary lived experiences of people, not just the works of an educated elite. Cultural studies explores culture through institutions, modes of production, cultural forms and traditions, and how culture is reproduced and organized within society.
Sociology Unit 2: Culture and Society
Societies progress from hunter-gatherer and pastoral societies in preindustrial times, to agricultural societies where animals are used for farming and surpluses support larger, permanent settlements. Industrialization shifts the focus to manufactured goods in factories, dividing labor into specialized tasks and bringing people into cities for work. Currently, postindustrial societies focus on service and information industries as technology continues to change the nature of work.
Cultural studies
This document discusses key concepts in cultural studies such as culture, ideology, hegemony, and counter-hegemony. It defines culture as the norms, values, and understandings that help people make sense of their reality. Ideology refers to the framework people use to understand existence. Hegemony is the dominance of one social group over others through influencing ideas and beliefs. Counter-hegemony involves using hegemonic behaviors to challenge domination. The document asks if there are beliefs not influenced by the dominant culture, and if so, where they originated.
Cultural Studies
Cultural Studies critiques media effects research by focusing on hegemony, or how dominant ideologies secure consent through media. It draws from the Frankfurt School's view of corporate media tailoring messages to support capitalism, and Foucault's idea of discourses that shape understanding and naturalize certain perspectives. Cultural Studies examines how media representations reproduce social inequalities by presenting a restricted range of choices controlled by corporations.

Here is the explained view of what is culture and answer of all the queries related to culture.
chapter three.pptx
This document discusses key concepts related to culture, including:
- Defining culture and distinguishing between material and non-material culture. Material culture includes physical objects while non-material culture includes ideas, beliefs, and social norms.
- The main components of culture are symbols, language, beliefs, values, and artifacts. Culture also has both ideational and material aspects.
- Cultural universals refer to practices, beliefs, and values that exist across many different societies, while cultural variation describes the diversity between cultures.
- Cultural lag and lead describe situations where technological or social changes happen faster or slower than changes in cultural norms.
- Cultural specialties are skills or knowledge specific to certain social groups.
- Basic
Complexity of Culture
Culture is complex and encompasses many aspects of human life and society. It includes beliefs, practices, values, attitudes, laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge, and everything people learn as members of a group. Culture is shared within a society through socialization and enculturation as people are exposed to cultural lessons and norms from a young age. It is transmitted over time through conformity as actions become habitual and social control through rewards and punishments. Culture is unique to human societies and helps define group identity.
Social Science Report : Module 8 : CULTURE
This document defines culture and discusses its meaning, origin, elements, characteristics and function. It provides several definitions of culture from anthropologists and sociologists, describing culture as the customs, knowledge and material objects that are learned and shared by a society. The document outlines that culture originated from human evolution as a way for humans to classify and transmit experiences. It identifies the key elements of culture as including material objects, norms, values, beliefs, language and symbols.
Culture, socialization and education
Culture is defined in several ways by different scholars. Linton viewed culture as learned behaviors and elements shared and transmitted within a society. Taylor saw culture as a complex whole including knowledge, beliefs, arts, and habits acquired as a member of a society. Kasper referred to culture as patterns from literature, language, music, sculpture, and art.
Culture is learned as people acquire it through experience rather than being born with it. Culture is a group product that is transmitted between generations and is continually changing and adapting. Folkways are customary behaviors, and mores embody a group's fundamental values. Cultural norms establish standards of thought and conduct. Sub-cultures accept some larger cultural norms but also have their own
PRESENTATION 2 SOCIETY AND CULTURE.pptx
Society is defined as a group of people living in the same territory, relatively independent from outsiders, and sharing a common culture. A society exists through interactions between its members. Three classical theories about the origins of society are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Society functions through both visible written rules and invisible unwritten rules that guide people's daily interactions and behaviors. Culture is learned and shared among a society and encompasses beliefs, values, knowledge, and other aspects of a people's way of life.

Culture / Characteristics of culture / Diversity of Culture
This document discusses the concept of culture. It defines culture as the customs, traditions, attitudes, values, norms, ideas and symbols that govern human behavior patterns. The document then outlines several key characteristics of culture, including that culture is learned behavior, abstract, patterned, includes attitudes/values/knowledge, is shared within a society, is transmitted between generations, and is continually changing. It also notes that language is the chief vehicle for transmitting culture. The document concludes by discussing types of culture like Western, Eastern, Latin, and African culture and the importance of cultural diversity.
culture
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.

Culture
Culture is a way of life. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the language you speak in and the God you worship all are aspects of culture. In very simple terms, we can say that culture is the embodiment of the way in which we think and do things. It is also the thing that we have inherited as members of society. All the achievements of human beings as members of social groups can be called culture. Art, music, literature, architecture, sculpture, philosophy, religion and science can be seen as aspects of culture. However, culture also includes the customs, traditions, festivals, ways of living and one’s outlook on various
issues of life.
DAY-15 CULTURE.pptx

Insocio lecture 4 culture and society
Society is defined as a group of people who live in the same territory and share a common culture. Culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors of a group. Culture and society depend on each other - society is composed of interacting people who share the same culture, and neither could exist without the other. Culture has both material aspects like artifacts and technology, as well as non-material aspects like language, values, and norms. Culture is transmitted from one generation to the next primarily through language. Cultural diversity exists both between societies and within societies in the form of subcultures and countercultures. Attitudes towards cultural diversity range from multiculturalism which respects all cultures, to ethnocentrism which

The document then provides details on the definition and types of divine revelation (Wahi), the compilation of the Q
Search engine
Search engines use keywords to search the World Wide Web and return results ordered by relevance. They help users find websites without knowing URLs by filtering billions of web pages. The main types are crawler-based engines like Google that use spiders to index pages, directories edited by humans like Yahoo, hybrids combining crawlers and directories like Yahoo and Google, and meta search engines that transmit queries to multiple engines and integrate results.
Re sistors ap
Resistors are passive electronic components that introduce resistance into electrical circuits to reduce current flow. They are most commonly made from carbon, metal, or metal oxide films wrapped around an insulating material. There are fixed and variable resistors - fixed resistors have a set resistance value while variable resistors can adjust resistance levels. Resistors can be connected in series or parallel configurations to vary the total circuit resistance.

Ppt capital budgeting
This research paper analyzes how financial constraints affect a firm's investment in working capital and fixed assets. It finds that (1) including working capital investment in a fixed investment regression results in a negative coefficient, and (2) internal finance has a greater effect on fixed investment than standard estimates show, while cash flow has a smaller effect on working capital investment. The paper uses panel data from 1970 to 1979 to test these predictions and understand how initial working capital reserves can influence a constrained firm's fixed investment decisions.

Insaaf najam sethi
Citizens supported Imran Khan and the PTI because they hoped they would address rampant corruption and lack of justice in Pakistan. However, the PTI has not made meaningful attempts to tackle these issues. The judiciary and other institutions that were hoped to deliver justice have also failed. Now Imran Khan is accusing Shahbaz Sharif of corruption, but it is unlikely true justice ("insaf") will be delivered due to the populist influence of Khan and other leaders. Overall, no current institutions or leaders seem capable of ensuring justice and transparency across Pakistan.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Cultural Studies for Business Management
- 1. CULTURE
- 2. Introduction: Culture is one of the important concepts in sociology. No human society can exist and develop without its culture. The main difference between the animal and human societies is of culture only. Animal societies have no culture because they do not have systems of learning and transmitting social experiences. Sociologists are keenly interested in the study of culture because the study of human society is incomplete without it.
- 3. Edward TylorEdward Tylor Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, art, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of the society.
- 4. Definition of culture Different sociologists have differently defined the term culture: Taylor: “Culture is the complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, customs and habits and any capabilities acquired by man as a member of society”. Linton: “Culture is social heredity, which is transmitted from one generation to another with the accumulation of individual experiences”. John Beattee: Culture is the way of life which is transmitted from generation to generation”.
- 5. TYPES OF CULTURE • Material Culture • Non-material Culture • Real Culture • Ideal Culture
- 6. 1. Material Culture • From material culture we understand material and physical objects. For instance, house, road, vehicles, pen, table, radio set, book etc. these are the products of human efforts to control his environment and make his life conformable and safe. 2. Non-material culture • In non-material culture we include non material objects. For example religion, art, ideas, customs, values system, attitudes, knowledge etc. it does not have physical shape. It is very important in determining human behavior and has strong hold on an individual. Both parts are inter-related with each other.
- 7. CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURE: From the definitions it becomes clear that sociologically culture has specific meaning and characteristics. It is the product of human behavior and gaining knowledge through group. It is a system of learned behavior and set procedure. Some of the salient characteristics of culture are as under: • Culture is learned. • Culture is shared. • Culture is transmitted. • Culture is changing.
- 8. • Culture is learned: • Most of the behavior is learned in society. This learning might be conscious or unconscious but no body can deny the process of learning. Culture is something learnt and acquired e.g. wearing clothes or dancing. It is not something natural to the person. • Culture is shared: • All the traits, attitudes, ideas, knowledge and material objects like radio, television and automobiles etc is actually shared by members of society.
- 9. Culture is transmitted All the culture traits and objects are transmitted among the members of society continually. Most of the cultural traits and material objects are transmitted to the members of the society from their forefathers. We learn new fashion, how to move in society and how to behave in a particular social situation. Culture is changing Culture never remains static but changing. It is changing in every society, but with different speed and causes. It constantly under goes change and adapts itself to the environments.
- 11. -These are the guidelines people are supposed to follow in their relation with one another. -they indicate what people should or should not do in specific situation. -they indicate the standard of propriety, morality, legality, and ethics of a society that are covered by sanctions when violation are made.
- 12. Social norms a. Folkways – these are everyday habits; customs, traditions and conventions people obey without giving much thought to the matter b. Mores- these are the norms people consider vital to their wellbeing and most cherished values; they are special customs with moral and ethical significance, which are strongly held and emphasized.
- 13. c. Laws- these are formalized norms enacted by people vested with legitimate authority.
- 14. MATERIAL CULTURE -It refers to the concrete and tangible objects produced and used by man to satisfy his varied needs and wants.
