Interculturation and Transculturation
Introduction
In this unit i have learned about Culture, and it means the whole complex of
traditional behavior which has been developed by the human race and is
successively learned by each generation.
Not all behavior is learned, but most of it is learned; combing ones hair,
standing in line, telling jokes, criticizing the President and going to the movie, all
constitute behaviors which had to be learned.
In this practice we are going to see many things about culture transculturation

cultural traits are added, with that there are possibilities of cultural changes with
the particular culture through time.
The fifth characteristic of culture is that culture is dynamic. It was considered
that there is no culture remains on the permanent state. Culture is changing
constantly as new ideas and new techniques are added in time modifying or
changing the old ways. This is the characteristic of culture that stems from the
cultures cumulative quality.
The sixth characteristic of culture is that culture is ideational. Culture forms
ideal pattern of behaviors that followed by individuals expectedly. It serves as
guidelines that must be followed by members to gain social acceptance from
the people with the same culture.
The seventh characteristic of culture is that culture is diverse. It was
considered that culture was formed by many separate cultures. It is a system
that has several mutually interdependent parts. Although these parts are
separate, they are interdependent with one another forming culture as a whole.
The eight characteristic of culture is that culture gives us a range of
permissible behavior patterns. Culture provides us with the norms of
appropriate behavioral patterns. It involves how an activity should be
conducted, how an individual should appropriately act, as husband, wife,
parents, child, and others. It tells us how to dress based on gender, occasions,
statue and many more.

Enculturation refers to the process by which one learns the way of life and
behavior of one's own culture. It will help the person to become an active
participant of that culture. An individual can participate in the society, only if he/
she learns the norms and values that exist in the society.
