Towards a definition ¥ of culture How many definitions of culture exist? Culture is a very difficult term to define, - For some people it means literature, music and art, Others define it as beliefs, ways of behaving and the ideas of a particular group. Another, broader definition says that itis all the knowledge and values of a society. Lord Raglan, a British soldier and author in the 20" century, once famously said, ‘Culture is roughly everything we do and the monkeys don't.’ There are ‘as many definitions of culture as there are different societies. Two kinds of culture One useful starting point is the idea of two types of culture: culture with a capital C and culture with a small c. Culture with a capital C refers to music, literature and the visual arts. It also includes facts and statistics about a national group or society. A person is cultured if they know lot about culture with a capital C. Many English-speaking countries now have citizenship tests for new immigrants. 2 Examples might include Who wrote Hamlet? or Where does the Prime Minister of Canada live? Culture with a small c refers to beliefs, values, traditions and the everyday life of a particular community. _________. Culture with a small c can be different from one part of a country to another. Travellers and. People who do business with people from different places are often more interested in culture with a small ¢. Example questions could include What time do ‘Americans finish work? or Do Germans shake hands or kiss when they meet each other? —____.. Culture gives a person a ‘special identity, Culture gives a community or ‘a country a different character. Whatever the definition, culture plays an important part in everybody's life. culture Unie lav eirtonaMte| olet1| hi Warm up 1 Workin pairs. Look at the pictures and compare and contrast them.

To talk and write to each other. But what do we talk and write about? This is where culture comes in. ‘Language enables us to say who we are and how we lve. I's natural, therefore, to find Englsh-teaching courses telling us about local shops, national events, and famous places, While studying points of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, learners take in a great eal of cultural information. If the course focuses on British English, the settings may be ‘such places as Oxtord Street and the Tower of London. f American English, they might be Broadway and Times Square. ‘Today, Enalsh is found in countries all over the world, and everywhere we see the language changing as people use it to talk about their local situation. The most noticeable change is the ‘new vocabulary they use when they want to talk in English about plants and animale, food and dink, customs and practices, and other features of everyday if. A visitor can sometimes find it dificult to understand what's being said, especially when the conversation turns to politics, folkiore, city streets, or TV personalities. Local people unconsciously use names, words, and) expressions that reflect their culture, which outsiders have to lean if they want to participate. Everyone in Brazil knows what a batera is (the drummers in a samba schoo). Everyone in India. knows what a lah is (a numerical unit, 100,000). Each country has thousands of words lke these, many borrowed from local languages, which can form part of en English conversation. ‘Along with regional features of pronunciation and grammar, they make up a country’s national dialect of English. ‘The first national English dialects appeared in Britain in the Middle Ages, when the English ‘of Scotland began to difer from the English of England, Later, American and British Engjish verges. Then local varieties developed in Australia, South Africa, and other territories of the British Empire. Later stil, newly independent nations such as Nigeria continued the process, ‘adapting English to suit ther needs.
