Discussion: Definitions of Culture
A veritable plethora of scholarship has been devoted to
attempting to define culture. The concept is complex, yet most
individuals have some idea about what the term means and
includes. The idea of culture is so central to so much that makes
us human, that it is well worth our time to explore and unpack
its meaning in some depth. We may find that our ideas about
culture share much in common with others' ideas about culture,
but we may also find some nuances or emphases in some
definitions that are less apparent in other definitions.
For this Discussion, you will closely examine various
definitions of culture and the importance it may have to the
psychology community.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider
various definitions of culture.
By Day 4
Based on your review of the Learning Resources,
post
your responses to the following questions.
What are some definitions of culture that researchers have
utilized?
What is a definition of culture that resonates with you and why?
Why should psychologists be interested in understanding
culture?
Note:
Be sure to support your
postings and responses
with specific references to the Learning Resources and identify
current relevant literature to support your work.
