CONCEPTS OF CULTURE CULTURE –  Whole complex which includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, laws, customs & any other capabilities & habits acquired by man as a member of Society  Transmitted & created content & patterns of values, ideas, and other symbolic-meaningful systems that are factors in the shaping of human behavior & the artifacts produced through behavior 1. TRAIT – A single attribute of culture, such as wearing a turban in a Muslim society COMPLEX – Combination of traits; related set of traits, such as prevailing dress codes, cooking, eating utensils SYSTEM – Combined cultural complexes; Northern China eats wheat; Southern China eats rice; both speak a similar language; shared history, philosophy, cultural traditions & attitudes
