Q: How would you define “culture”?● “Culture is all the accepted and patterned ways of behavior of a given people; it

is that facet of human life learned by people as a result of belonging to some particular group; it is that part of learned behavior shared with others.

Not only does this concept include a group’s way of thinking, feeling, and acting, but also the internalized patterns for doing certain things in certain ways… not just doing them.

This concept also includes the physical manifestations of a group as exhibited in their achievements and contributions to civilization.” (Peck, 1998)
