Culture is a term used by social scientists for a people's
whole way of life. In everyday conversation, the word
culture may refer to activities in such fields as art, literature,
and music. But to social scientists, a people's consists of all
the ideas, objects, and ways of doing things created by the
group. Culture includes arts, beliefs, customs, inventions,
language, technology, and traditions, (The World Book
Encyclopedia, 1992:490).
It is a much broader term than "society", for example, which
is used technically to describe an organized group of people
interacting in a structural system and carrying out activities
necessary to produce and sustain life. Culture refers to the
behavioral contents of this society, (The Encyclopedia
Americana, 1986:315).
Each human society has a body of norms governing behavior
and other knowlegde to which an individual is socialized, or
enculturated, beginning at birth. Culture in this sense is
different from the concept of culture used to describe a
highly cultivated person who is versed in music, literature,
philosophy, and other intellectual pursuits associated with
civilized life. Human culture in the technical sense includes
the insignificant and mundane behavior traits of everyday
life, such as etiquette and food habits, as well as the refined
arts of a socety, (Grolier Academic Encyclopedia, 1987:384).
