Culture

Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, as alive as habits of the individuals in these groups. Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location.

Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation & socialization, which is provided by the diversity of cultures across societies.

A cultural norm codifies acceptable cover in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social office can bear risks, just as a single breed can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change. Thus in military culture, valor is counted a typical behavior for an individual and duty, honor, and loyalty to the social chain are counted as virtues or functional responses in the continuum of conflict. In the practice of religion, analogous attributes can be returned in a social group.

Cultural change, or repositioning, is the reconstruction of a cultural concept of a society. Cultures are internally affected by both forces encouraging modify and forces resisting change. Cultures are externally affected via contact between societies.

Organizations like UNESCO effort to preserve culture and cultural heritage.

Description

Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are talked through social learning in human societies. Cultural universals are found in any human societies. These add expressive forms like art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies like tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such(a) as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such(a) as principles of social organization including practices of political organization and social institutions, mythology, philosophy, literature both written and oral, and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society.

In the humanities, one sense of culture as an qualities of the individual has been the degree to which they take cultivated a specific level of sophistication in the arts, sciences, education, or manners. The level of cultural sophistication has also sometimes been used to distinguish civilizations from less complex societies. such hierarchical perspectives on culture are also found in class-based distinctions between a high culture of the social elite and a low culture, popular culture, or folk culture of the lower classes, distinguished by the stratified access to cultural capital. In common parlance, culture is often used to refer specifically to the symbolic markers used by ethnic groups to distinguish themselves visibly from used to refer to every one of two or more people or things other such as body modification, clothing or jewelry. Mass culture refers to the mass-produced and mass mediated forms of consumer culture that emerged in the 20th century. Some schools of philosophy, such as Marxism and critical theory, cause argued that culture is often used politically as a tool of the elites to manipulate the proletariat and create a false consciousness. Such perspectives are common in the discipline of cultural studies. In the wider social sciences, the theoretical perspective of cultural materialism holds that human symbolic culture arises from the the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical thing conditions of human life, as humans create the conditions for physical survival, and that the basis of culture is found in evolved biological dispositions.

When used as a count noun, a "culture" is the shape of customs, traditions, and values of a society or community, such as an ethnic group or nation. Culture is the set of cognition acquired over time. In this sense, multiculturalism values the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between different cultures inhabiting the same planet. Sometimes "culture" is also used to describe specific practices within a subgroup of a society, a subculture e.g. "bro culture", or a counterculture. Within cultural anthropology, the ideology and analytical stance of cultural relativism hold that cultures cannot easily be objectively ranked or evaluated because all evaluation is necessarily situated within the expediency system of a precondition culture.
