92843
There are two types or parts to culture, in the eyes of the sociologist, the material and the nonmaterial culture. A material culture is the part that is concrete and tangible. This includes things like buildings, art, or even a hairbrush. The nonmaterial culture is the opposite. It includes things like religion, philosophy, ideas, and beliefs

How could they have no culture? Where there are people, there is culture.\n\nJust because a culture is different from yours, doesn't make it any less valid.

Western culture or Western civilisation is a term used to refer to the cultures of the people of European origin and their descendants. It comprises the broad heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs (such as religious beliefs) and specific artifacts and technologies as shared within the Western sphere of influence. The term "Western" is often used in contrast to Asian, African, or Arab nations.

Businesses form cultures.  There are micro cultures, such as that of various kinds of salespeople which independently arrive at certain common behaviors and values while working independently or with a variety of companies.  Then there are company-specific cultures that are greatly different from others of their industry--Apple and IBM are perfect examples of that.\n\nA recent fad was the Six Sigma program of quality improvement.  Motorola developed a plan based on scrutinizing various key and fundamental aspects of production.  Essentially, the idea is that if you keep building a better, more reliable product, the customer and prospect base will keep buying it.   This was adapted and adopted in various ways.  Some corporate cultures needed a "just the facts" mechanical implementation because they already were of that mindset.  Others needed it to be carefully explained and strategically implemented because they were not used to such comparatively sterile production and process scrutiny.  Still others, blundered in from Dilbert-style incompetent managers with all the deft and personality of a butcher or bulldozer.\n\nLearning from other management cultures can include looking at the mistakes and avoiding them.  To see a difference in corporate culture consider the conglomeration of Time to Warner to AOL.  They did it very poorly.  Then watch how Federated Department Stores acquired and assimilated companies.  Big banks, practiced in mergers, can give good examples of assimilation with advancement.

For much of the Middle Ages, Islamic culture was the only culture that promoted learning, science etc. They preserved a lot of older European texts which otherwise we would not have today.

To me, culture is a way of life, food, dress, mannerisms, religious beliefs, holidays, etc for a group of people or particular nationality.  Heritage has more to do with ancestry and the origination of your family tree.

Because culture, as an an attribute of groups, not individuals, is both general & specific.\n\nGeneral, in the sense that shared human culture are shown by cultural universals (“traits found in every culture”) with biological, psychological & social bases.\n\nAll people have Culture. However, depending on the environment, social & cultural context give rise to:\n\n1.Cultural Generalities (“regularities that occur in different times & places but not all cultures”) which arise as a result of \n\nDiffusion – borrowing or inheritance from a shared common ancestor \nInvention – use the same adaptation strategy\n\nFor instance, human behavior has biological basis; Cultural patterns and behavior are biologically determined. \n\n-and to answer your question-\n\n2. Cultural Particulars – “traits unique to certain cultural traditions” \n\nFor instance, Biology is the precondition for culture, but there is always room for culture to be reshapened/reconditioned. In essence, our culture is adapted, accordingly to people's biological needs, resources and their environment.

Human infants are born without any culture.  They must be transformed by their parents, teachers, and others into cultural and socially adept animals.  The general process of acquiring culture is referred to as socialization .  During socialization, we learn the language of the culture we are born into as well as the roles we are to play in life.  For instance, girls learn how to be daughters, sisters, friends, wives, and mothers.  In addition, they learn about the occupational roles that their society allows them.  We also learn and usually adopt our culture's norms  through the socialization process.  Norms are the conceptions of appropriate and expected behavior that are held by most members of the society.  While socialization refers to the general process of acquiring culture, anthropologists use the term enculturation  for the process of being socialized to a particular culture.  You were enculturated to your specific culture by your parents and the other people who raised you.\nSuccessful socialization can result in uniformity within a society.  If all children receive the same socialization, it is likely that they will share the same beliefs and expectations.  This fact has been a strong motivation for national governments around the world to standardize education and make it compulsive.  Deciding what things will be taught and how they are taught is a powerful political tool for controlling people.  Those who internalize the norms of society are not likely to break the law or want radical social changes.   In all societies, however, there are individuals who do not conform to culturally defined standards of normalcy because they were "abnormally" socialized, which is to say that they have not internalized the norms of society.  These people are usually defined by their society as being deviant or even mentally ill.
