Opis

Culture is the key concept of the field of ethnology. The term has been defined in hundreds of ways but usually refers to the whole way of life of some society or group. To describe and analyse culture it is useful to distinguish between its mental and behavioural components, or between cultural knowledge and patterns of behaviour.Culture is defined in this book as the shared, socially learned knowledge and behavioural patterns characteristic of some group of people.A simplistic view would hold that cultural knowledge determines the behaviour of the individuals who share that knowledge. But cultural ideas and beliefs serve as more than just rules or instructions for behaviour.
