The Culture Concept
1. "The very word culture meant “place tilled” in Middle English, and the same word goes back to Latin colere, “to inhabit, care for, till, worship.” To be cultural, to have a culture, is to inhabit a place sufficiently intensely to cultivate it—to be responsible for it, to respond to it, to attend to it caringly." "Traditional anthropological definitions of culture imply that cultures are bounded entities that are grounded in place, which allows for shared meanings to develop and be passed along."

2.. "That complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs,and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as member of society" (Tylor 1924:1)

3. According to Henslin, culture can be defined as: "the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and even material objects that are passed from one generation
to the next” (Henslin 2007:G3). "culture is manufactured by people in a society and used to regulate society’s members."
