Definition of culture
Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate")[1] is a term that has different meanings. For example, in 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of 164 definitions of "culture" in Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions.[2] However, the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses: - excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture - an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning - the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group.
