`The sumtotal of knowledge, attitudes and habitual behaviourpatterns shared and transmitted by the members of a particularsociety'
Ralph Linton (1940).
The pattern of life within a community, the regularlyrecurring activities and material and social arrangementscharacteristic of a particular group'.
Ward Goodenough (1957):
“Culture is the framework of beliefs, expressive symbols, andvalues in terms of which individuals define their feelings andmake their judgements”
(Geertz 1957 American Anthropologist 59:32-54).
![Page 8: Sociology part 6](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013121/55492707b4c9059f4c8bb420/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An historically transmitted pattern of meaning embodied insymbols, a systemof inherited conceptions expressed insymbolic formby means which men communicate'
(Geertz 1973: 89).
“Cultures are traditions and customs, transmitted throughlearning, that formand guide the beliefs and behaviour ofthe people exposed to them.... Cultural traditions includecustoms and opinions developed over the generationsabout proper and improper behaviour”
(Kottak 2008)

• Culture - the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed from one generation to the next.
• Material culture - the material objects that distinguish a group of people.
• Non-material culture -a group’s way of thinking and doing.
What is Culture?

“Everything that people have, think, and do as members of a
society”
(Ferraro, 2008)

What is society?
![Page 12: Sociology part 6](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013121/55492707b4c9059f4c8bb420/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DO NOT CONFUSE CULTURE WITH SOCIETY.
SOCIETY REFERS TOA GROUP OF PEOPLE, INTERACTING WITHIN A GIVEN TERRITORY, WHO ARE GUIDEDIN THEIR DAILY LIVES BY THEIR CULTURES.
