Document Summary
Definition: its a difficult concept to define because it varies depending on external and internal factors. For example, australia"s culture will be different from china"s because of its history, beliefs, and views, therefore, it"s definition is altered. However, these are some common ways that it can be explained . Culture is everything/anything that a group of people does from religious rituals to everyday behaviour. Culture is produced by the making meaning of society. Culture is a producer and reproducer of value systems and power relations. Culture is a learned experience from those around us. We aren"t simply born with a sense of culture until we come in contact with people. Culture codes have been reinforced everywhere, from families, countries, and institutions. It refers to the way that society follows a moral code that isn"t always written or communicated to us. You usually don"t know your living by these codes and rules until you already learned them.
