It examines how human life is shaped by and shapes the environment, and how studying current and past cultures can provide understanding of how societies developed over time. The main idea is to help students make educated decisions as future members of a diverse democratic society.

Whose Culture, Whose Creative City. A paper given by Paul Long of the AHRC-funded Cultural Intermediation project at the Royal Geographical Society annual conference in August 2014.
11 11-14 slides
This document discusses questions for a class on globalization and culture, including what defines the culture of the global super-rich, how they differ from previous eras' wealthy in relation to globalization and neoliberalism, the relationship between the super-rich, philanthropy and democracy, and popular culture representations of the super-rich and what people get from consuming them.
Culture presentation
Culture can be defined as the shared beliefs, values, customs, and artifacts that help a group of people cope with the world and each other. It is transmitted between generations through learning. There are different types of culture, including symbolic, material, social, folk, and political cultures. Acculturation is the process where one cultural group adopts beliefs and behaviors of another dominant group through things like language change and social group membership. Alternative and countercultures exist outside mainstream culture, while subcultures have distinct cultures within a larger culture. Postmodern theorists argue that characteristics of modern societies like universal progress, large corporations, and nation states are declining, while new social movements and diversified small companies are on the rise.
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 Diversity
This document discusses cultural diversity and sensitivity in global organizations. It describes how parochialism and ethnocentrism can lead to high failure rates for virtual teams due to cultural differences. Cultural sensitivity training is important for organizations to address diversity and increase virtual team success. Understanding differences in areas like communication, holidays, and trust-building across cultures can improve collaboration. The concept of culture relativity, where perceptions of other cultures are relative to one's own perspective, shows that all cultural views are correct depending on standpoint. This emphasizes the importance of understanding differences rather than acting negatively on perceptions.
UNESCO World Report : Investing in Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue
Culture plays a very special role within UNESCO’s mandate. Not only does it represent a specifi c fi eld of activities, encompassing the safeguarding
and promoting of heritage in all its forms (both tangible and intangible), encouraging creativity (particularly in the cultural industries), and facilitating
mutual understanding through intercultural dialogue, it also permeates all UNESCO’s fi elds of competence. It is therefore a source of satisfaction
that this cross-cutting relevance of culture should be underlined with the publication of this second volume in the series of UNESCO intersectoral
world reports, devoted to cultural diversity. 2009
Diversity
Diversity exists naturally in communities just as it does in nature, with people being as unique as the leaves on a tree. While people differ, the commonality that unites all is a sense of belonging to the community. For a community to thrive, there must be awareness and appreciation of diversity in culture, ethnicity, religion, ages, disabilities and contributions of all, as well as recognition of the historical struggles and urban development within the community. Just as a musical composition draws strength from the distinct sounds of individual instruments, a community gains strength from the diversity of its people and resources.

Cultural Geography
Here are some key concepts about the growth of language shown through the development of the English language:
- Languages evolve and change over time as they come into contact with other languages and cultures through things like migration, trade, conquest, etc. Old English was transformed into Middle English by Norman French influences after the Norman conquest.
- Languages diffuse from their origin as their speakers migrate and settle new lands, spreading the language with them. English diffused from Britain to its colonies around the world.
- A language may take on new prestige and importance based on political, economic or cultural factors. As the British Empire grew, so did the global influence and spread of English.
- The core vocabulary and grammar of a language remains intact
The role of culture in national development
This document discusses the role of culture in national development. It defines culture and national development, examining theories of development. Culture is seen as fundamental to human existence and civilization, embodying people's responses to life's challenges. National development aims to improve citizen well-being through progress. The document argues that culture forms the platform and instrument for development, as tradition and knowledge have historically sustained communities and driven progress. No society can develop without building on its cultural traditions and knowledge.
Cultural diversity
Cultural diversity refers to different ethnic groups living together peacefully without forcing their traditions on others. It exists in variations in language, religion, and customs between people. While cultural diversity brings benefits like varied celebrations and trade, it can also lead to issues like discrimination and ethnic politics if prejudices between groups arise. Accommodating different ethnic groups with respect to housing and achieving diversity in leadership positions promotes cultural diversity.
Diversity in Behavioral Science
Diversity means valuing differences between people and how those differences can contribute to a richer, more creative and productive working environment. Diversity brings together people from various backgrounds with different life experiences which can generate new ideas and perspectives. Promoting diversity is the first step to not just tolerance but true acceptance as it allows people to see they may have more in common than they thought. Diversity exists in many forms including race, culture, gender, religion, language, geography, and economics.

Presentation for the panel discussion around cultural appropriation as part of A la Mexicana exhibition in London, UK. July 3rd, 2019.
Culture
Culture refers to the knowledge, language, values, customs, and material objects that are passed down between generations in a human group. It includes both material and non-material aspects. Material culture consists of the physical objects a society makes and uses, while non-material culture includes beliefs, values, and social systems. All cultures share some common customs and practices, and culture comprises symbols, language, values, and norms that shape a group's behaviors and ways of thinking.
Topics in cultural studies
Cultural change occurs through the interaction between two culturally different groups and the process of intercultural exchange. Intercultural exchange can result in both benefits like cultural enrichment and problems like racism. Globalization is a legacy of cultural change that influences societies through economic and technological forces. It allows for rapid spreading of cultures but also exerts pressure that changes cultural norms. The United States exemplifies how cultural diversity, change, and globalization reinforce one another through immigration integrating diverse ethnic groups and accelerating the global exchange of ideas.

Cultural Diversity by PSHE
This document discusses cultural diversity in Britain. It notes that Britain has long benefited from cultural diversity and is now one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. It values community cohesion and ensuring equal opportunities for all. Britain's culture has been heavily influenced by different immigrant cultures, such as Indian curry becoming a popular dish. Cultural diversity in Britain can be traced back through its history, with each group of settlers contributing different aspects of their culture.
Theories of Culture
The document discusses two views of how culture works - as a dominant ideology that tells people what to think, or as a toolkit of optional resources. It also examines why some cultural forms are more powerful or effective than others. Specifically, it outlines five dimensions - retrievability, rhetorical force, resonance, institutional retention, and resolution - that can help analyze why some cultural items are more influential based on their accessibility, persuasive content, relevance to social issues, support from institutions, and ability to provide further engagement. The goal is to use these dimensions to comparatively analyze how culture transmits values and influences people.

Soc 210, 3 rd class
This document discusses the relationship between arts, media, sports, and popular culture. It defines art as manifestations of human creativity that take different forms across cultures. While art is separate from everyday life in Western cultures, it is integrated in non-Western societies. The document also examines how media is a major tool in creating and spreading popular culture globally through formats like television and sports broadcasting. It analyzes why the US and Brazil have differing Olympic medal counts, attributing the gap to differences in social mobility, stratification, and how each nation promotes and rewards athletic achievement.
4.1 - The Elements of Culture
Culture is defined as the total knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors shared by and passed down through a specific group. A society is a group within a geographic area that shares a culture and identity. The diffusion and spread of ideas from one culture to another, as well as the adoption of innovations through acculturation, can impact languages and identities within cultures and societies over time.
Culture - Five Dimensions
The document defines culture as the learned and shared understandings among a group of people regarding appropriate behavior and meanings. It describes culture as residing within communities, people, and the products and practices they engage in. These elements are influenced by shared perspectives that guide cultural norms and values. The document advocates analyzing culture in a holistic manner that avoids overgeneralization or assumptions of homogeneity.
Cultural Conflict
Cultural conflict arises when different cultures interact and their behaviors and values conflict. It can occur between individuals, within a culture, between a culture and itself, or between different cultures. Examples include conflicts between ethnic groups in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Northern Ireland. Cultural conflict is expressed through instrumental conflicts over goals and practices or expressive conflicts regarding emotions. While culture is a source of conflict, understanding cultural differences can help resolve or prevent conflicts, though cultural conflicts cannot always be avoided since culture influences all relationships where conflict occurs.
Culture and Ethnic Identities by Ting-Toomey and Chung
In their 40 page article, Stella Ting-Toomey and Leeva Chung discussed the factors that affect the formation of our ethnic and cultural identities, the role of the family as a framework of our society and possible scenarios when an individual migrates/encounters a different culture.

Culture powerfully influences human cognition, perception and behavior. Culture provides structure, order and predictability in an unpredictable world. It shapes how we see and understand the world through the lens of our cultural upbringing. Culture is learned during childhood and influences personality development and social functioning. Different cultures have diverse rules, customs and norms regarding verbal communication and interaction that can cause barriers or be misinterpreted between cultures without understanding cultural differences.
Chapters 1 and 2
This document is a chapter from a book that provides an introduction to conducting fieldwork research in Japan. The chapter defines culture and discusses its key characteristics. It explains that culture consists of shared understandings among a group about how to behave and find meaning. The chapter then explores five dimensions of culture: communities, individuals, cultural products, cultural practices, and cultural perspectives. It provides examples to illustrate each dimension and how exploring these dimensions can help analyze a particular culture.
Chapter 2 culture
This document discusses key concepts related to culture and society. It defines culture as the totality of learned behaviors and beliefs shared by a group of people. A society consists of people who share a common culture and heritage. All societies exhibit certain cultural universals, or practices that meet essential human needs. While cultural practices are universal, how they are expressed varies across cultures. The document also discusses concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, norms, values, and the role of language and symbols in shaping culture.
Culture and Society
Culture refers to the behaviors, customs, and way of life of a society or group. It includes both tangible aspects like objects and symbols, as well as intangible aspects like beliefs, ideas, and values. Every culture is defined by what is considered important and desirable, as well as social norms that embody cultural values. The transmission of culture over time occurs through socialization, where children learn the behaviors and ways of life of their society from family and other social institutions like schools. Different cultures may have conflicting or contradictory values, and encountering new cultures can feel disorienting due to the loss of familiar social norms.

Essay Of Culture
Culture defines a group's values, beliefs, and customs. It allows people to develop a unique identity within society but also connects people through shared interests. While some cultural aspects differ greatly between groups, technology has increased global connections and influenced many cultures. However, cultural differences can still cause social issues if one group does not agree or understand another's values. The essay discusses how an individual's culture shapes their identity and worldview.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
