Document Summary
This is the way that people create their world. Ex: a well paying job is how you achieve that goal. Culture also includes material culture and that is exactly that. It is objects and tangible objects that is that. We are going to concern ourselves with culture. Culture: is learned- literally from the moment we are born, if you are born in a hospital that reflects certain cultural understandings . There will be some variations, we don"t have capital punishment, we think that it is wrong to kill someone for killing someone. We don"t believe that people should wear side arms, we don"t think that people should have guns. In canada we have very different notions of immigration. Canada is of the mosaic, this is where every comes from around the world and they are expcted to subscribe to those basic things. But people are encouraged to maintain their religion, their morals. Thus you can see that culture is shared.
