What is defining culture?
Show answer
In sociology, culture is the total shared way of life of a group of people. It includes everything that is learned, shared and transmitted between members of a society: their knowledge, beliefs, values, norms, language, symbols, customs and the objects they make and use. Culture is learned rather than biologically inherited, it is shared by members of a group, and it changes over time.
