Culture What makes us who we are?

Humans are… The most CREATIVE species on the planet The only species to spread to all 7 continents The only species that can drive others to extinction

What determines our success? Our CULTURE does! We take our culture and way of life as “natural” and assume that it is the “right way” to do things. Culture is often invisible…But it doesn’t have to be: We rarely question our cultural assumptions…but we should!

What is society? Society – A particular geographical territory and the people who live there

So… what’s culture? CULTURE – The knowledge, values, customs, and physical objects that are passed on from generation to generation among members of a group.

Two types of Culture: Material Culture – Physical objects and architecture of a society. Non-material culture – The beliefs, rules, and customs of a society. Additionally, social, political, and economic systems in the abstract are part of material culture.

What does culture do? Culture… Provides the blue print that people in a society follow Guides individuals relationships with one another and their society Separates groups from one another… “US” versus “THEM” [The “other”] *Culture and society cannot exist without one another *Culture is LEARNED…It is not inherent or innate

How is culture learned? Culture is transmitted through the use of symbols -Symbols: things that stand for or represent something else Examples: the “middle finger”, “blue is for boys”, … Can be sounds, smells, tastes, gestures, etc Symbols are contextual…they differ between groups!

The Most Powerful Symbol of all… Language allows us to create and transmit culture… it allows humans to pass their experiences, ideas, and knowledge down to the next generation Human society vs Ape society
