What is Culture?

What is culture actually? Keep hearing people talk about culture, but never really knew what is 'culture'? Have you met this situation?

According to English Anthropologist Edward B Tylor,

Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.


Culture literally means the set of shared attitudes, feelings, goals, values, behaviours, customs and beliefs that characterises an institution, organization or group and distinguishes one group of people from another. Culture is learned and shared within social groups and is then transmitted through language, material objects, ritual, institutions and art from generations to generations.
