Have you ever looked at a weird thing in society and wondered, "How did they think of that?

" Visually
spotting patterns in culture is difficult, but it's possible with the right direction.

In this blog post we're going to take a look at how ideas move, and what can be done to get involved.
Whether you're looking for something new to experience, or just want to know more about yourself or
your own cultural identity: read on!

"Culture is an invisible community that transcends time, place, and speakers." - Bill Bryson

After seeing this quote on /r/cringepics, I was inspired to reflect on what it meant.

According to the usage cited in the comment (link NSFW), culture is also "a body of socially transmitted
learned behavior patterns conditioned by a particular society or subculture."

I believe that you can think of culture as a force that shapes how ideas are transmitted between people
at large. Just as physical transmission of ideas happens mostly by osmosis, cultural transmission happens
more by listening. Ideas can only spread between people through those who were indirectly exposed to
them, be it through a book, movie, song, tv show or comics.

This is clear for us foreigners in Japan. Everyone is exposed to the media from English-speaking countries
on a daily basis: if you're not exposed to it you will never understand what's going on in the world
around you. And chances are that you are also not exposed to your own native language.

There is no way around this; it is a law of culture. The more people there are in your company, the less
likely you will be exposed to your mother language. Interpretation services exist for this very reason, and
they are widely used by Japanese companies with foreign employees.

A popular example of how the media influences is the Billboard charts or even the Youtube rankings. We
have seen that the music videos from K-pop groups such as Girls Generation, Big Bang and 2NE1 have
dominated the Youtube rankings for days. A lot of people don't even know what these groups are
singing about, but they are exposed to their music through osmosis.

But how did it take off in Japan? All of those groups were already popular in Korea while they were
nothing here.

Culture is an important part of life. It can be expressed by such things as your favorite song, the clothes
you wear, or the food you eat. Cultural transmission is the process of passing on these types of
traditions from one generation to another. It's also about learning about someone else’s culture and
respecting it for what it is.
In today's post we're going to explore a few examples of cultural transmission and talk about how we
can best preserve our own cultures while appreciating those around us.

When it comes to cultural transmission, most of us have a favorite. Think about your favorite color, or
the band you can't get enough of and practice for hours just to listen to them. These kind of hobbies and
activities are part of our culture and an important part of our lives.

There are also many traditions that everyone can appreciate. The summertime is a great example of
this. For example, playing in the snow, or enjoying a refreshing drink after you mow the grass. The
traditions that are part of our lives are an important part of cultural transmission.

Another great source of cultural transmission is sports. Most of us can remember a time when our
favorite team wasn't doing so well, and we needed to stay positive. When things aren't going well for
your team, it's easy to get frustrated and let things get to you. It makes it really hard to enjoy a game
when you're worried about winning. Sports have a way of bringing us together and bringing us back to
the positive.

Sports are an important part of our culture. It’s fun to play them, watch them, and go to the games. But
there are other sports that are more popular than others. For example, basketball is much more popular
than baseball and football. These are all examples of cultural transmission because the game is pretty
much the same but people have a favorite sport they spend a lot of time on.

Another example would be our favorite sports team. For example, if you're a Spurs fan, you love the
Spurs. You may not watch other teams as much as you follow the Spurs. This is an example of cultural
transmission because it reveals what part of your culture is important for you to keep.

This essay was about how we can preserve our own cultures while respecting those around us. Another
way we can preserve our cultures is by sharing them with those who share similar values and beliefs
about the world and other cultures.

Cultural transmission is a process by which the cultural features of one group are taught and learned by
members of another group. This process often involves the adding or adapting of new ideas, symbols
and rituals without necessarily any individual variation or evolution.
In many cases, this might involve the adoption of books that promote ideas from one culture as
normative for everyone. In other cases, as with Japanese culture, it might involve elements such as
karaoke songs that have been exported abroad.

In addition to the process of cultural transmission, the influences of the cultural features and structures
that form the basis of a group’s culture can also be transmitted to others. This can occur through direct
influence or “syncretism”, as when it has become impossible to tell which elements are simply borrowed
from another culture and which are innovations. For example, many scholars find that Amerindian
societies were more “agrarian” than assigned in their historical accounts. Dialogue with these peoples
would make it clear that their work and leisure activities involved a great deal of land management, in
which personal cultivation was important, but political authority over the land by individual people was
absent. While a person’s aptitude for managing the land did not necessarily translate into skill as a
warrior, this adaption arguably makes it difficult to determine whether the organization was markedly
different from traditional agricultural societies.

"Cultural transmission (also known as cultural diffusion) is the spread of behavior, ideas, or material
traits culturally between groups."

The article goes on to talk about how cultural transmission differs from social transmission. Cultural
transmission is when one culture is changed by a different culture and vice versa. The article talks about
the ways that cultural transmissions can happen through different mediums such as books, television
shows, and movies.

This website has a list of websites that discuss various aspects of Cultural Transmission.

Title: Cultural Transmission Definition | Study.com

Title: Cultural transmission (also known as cultural diffusion) is the spread of behavior, ideas, or material
traits culturally between groups.

Studies show that children are more likely to follow the cultural norms and traditions of their parents,
than to develop completely new behaviors and beliefs. This is because the transmission of culture from
one generation to another is so strong that it influences individual development .

Definition of Cultural Transmission from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:


Cultural transmission is the acquisition and propagation of culture by means other than learning, such as
imitation, mimicry, physical proximity and empathy. One can argue that cultural transmission manifests
itself most clearly in the way that different cultures have different styles and customs. For example,
there are some cultures where women wear only one color on their outfits while other cultures require
more than one color. There are also some cultures where women wear a headscarf while other cultures
do not.

There are several subjects to consider when discussing cultural transmission. These subjects include, but
are not limited to:

This article discusses the transmission of culture from the perspective of a child. One study concludes
that children are more likely to adopt their parents' culture and beliefs than they are to create entirely
new cultural and religious beliefs. This is due in part to the fact that children will imitate their parents'
behavior because of a lack of willpower. There is also evidence that shows how cultural transmission can
work, specifically for things such as food consumption.

Cultural Transmission

There are many interesting facts about how different cultures and people can be related to the
Philippines. Culture is an important part of life, so it is good to know what factors are important in how a
person lives.

This article will discuss some of the connection between different countries and those living in those
countries with their country’s culture and history.

The Philippines is a very diverse country. It is made up of people from many different countries and in
the United States there are people from many different races. One culture that shows its diversity is
how Filipinos are very religious in their belief of God. For example, the Philippines has one of the largest
Roman Catholic populations in the world.

One other culture that can be seen and felt is in their food. People tend to eat a lot of rice for breakfast
and lunch because it is easy to make. The Philippines is also known for having many sweet or savory
dishes that are made with rice flour. The main staples in Filipino food are coconuts, fish, and rice. It is a
diverse country because of its many different cultures, ethnic groups and religions. It has also been
influenced by Spain, China and the United States. All of these cultures have influenced Filipino culture
and played a big part in its history.
The Philippines is also a very diverse country when it comes to the way people live. We may be modern,
but we still have our traditional ways. For example, most Filipino homes are made of wood and bamboo,
they have nipa roofs, clay walls that are painted in red and white or brown and yellow or have colorful
murals on them. The most important thing a house must have is a beautiful loud red Tiron.

Another cultural interest that has been alive for many years is theatre. It was first introduced by the
Spanish and quickly became a popular past time for those who can afford it. Another form of
entertainment that is very modernized is movies and television. There are many different genres of
shows that have both American and local Filipino actors and actresses. Some of the most well-known
Filipino television shows are Be Careful with My Heart, The Voice Kids Philippines, Your Face Sounds
Familiar, Pinoy Big Brother: All In, Pilipinas Got Talent and many more!

Another cultural interest that people enjoy is sports.

The term “cultural transmission” refers to how societies learn and pass on cultural values, ideas,
knowledge, and more through the passing of these elements from person to person. It can be seen as a
process of one society influencing another society. A lot of this cultural transmission is done through the
use of tools such as books, artworks, films or other forms off media; all things that can leave traces in
archaeological sites. Cultural transmission is a way in which we can look at the growth and development
of societies from the past, and how it might have happened. It is also used as a method for
anthropologists to connect present day societies to those of the past.

In anthropology, anthropology, cultural transmission looks at how ideas are handed down from
generation to generation, or from person to person. It is more than just the simple teaching of a
“parent” to their child, although this can be a part of cultural transmission as well. In order to
understand cultural transmission we have to think of cultures as being separate; this is because all
societies are different, with many different ways of thinking and behaving. We can see culture as it
affects individuals or groups, and not just on a larger scale.

Cultural transmission consists of both internal ideas and external ideas. Internal ideas are those that are
passed down within a group, such as family or friends. You might see this as “peer pressure” or
“sarcastic comments” and they are important in most societies. These can be the ones that are most
important to the individual and how they fit into a society. On the other hand you have external ideas
which generally come from more than one source. One example of this is a political party that uses
cultural elements such as nationalism, religion, or history in their ideologies. This can be seen through
the use of flags and emblems, or mascots. These are “external ideas” that are used as symbols for a
group or cause and it is important to study them as these ways in which cultures communicate
themselves.
Most groups have different cultures and social systems that show distinct differences from one another.
These social systems can be found in the way that different societies organize themselves, set up their
government and perform certain tasks. One of the main aspects of culture is the way in which people
think, meaning that there are differences between one society’s way of thinking and another. For
example, if you asked an American to draw a map of North America she would not draw it in a very
similar way to how a person from Canada would.
