IS EVERYTHING THAT A PERSON LEARNS AS A MEMBER OF A SOCIETY

CULTURE

It is what a person has, does, and thinks as part of society. This implies all of a person’s belief system, sets of behaviors and material possessions.

CULTURE IS EVERYTHING

includes all the tangible and visible parts of culture, which include clothes, food and even buildings. The types of material culture present in societies differ, as each society is configured by its environment and history.

MATERIAL CULTURE

includes all the intangible parts of culture, which consist of values, ideas, and knowledge. Just like material culture, the belief and values system of societies differ from one another based on their environment and history.

NON-MATERIAL CULTURE

Culture is a set of beliefs, attitudes, and practices that an individual learns through his or her family, school, church, and other social institutions.

CULTURE IS LEARNED

-the process of learning your own culture.

ENCULTURATION

culture can be modified to accommodate desirable traits from other cultures.

ACCULTURATION

a certain culture has been lost and even the cultural trait itself is in the process of being forgotten.

DECULTURATION

The set of behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that a person possesses is part of a greater collection of values and ideas that is communally owned and practiced by members of a society. Culture is shared inter generationally.

CULTURE IS SHARED

Humans are born into cultures that have values on beauty and body.

CULTURE AFFECTS BIOLOGY

Culture is a tool for survival that humans use in response to the pressures of their environment. Both material and non-material parts of culture are influenced by the goal of humans to address their needs as dictated by their environment and their biology.

CULTURE IS ADAPTIVE

Culture can also cause problems for the people who subscribe to it. These problems arise when the environment has changed and culture has remained the same.

CULTURE IS MALADAPTIVE

The final characteristic of culture is that it is never static. This dynamism of culture is due to the changing needs of humans as they interpret and survive in their environment. As such, culture is continuously reinvented by people. From that we wear to the food that we eat, culture can be seen as ever changing

CULTURE CHANGES

All cultures undergo the same development stages in the same order. The main classifications include savagery, barbarism, and civilization.

CULTURAL EVOLUTIONISM

All societies change as a result of cultural borrowing from one another.

DIFFUSIONISM

Each culture is unique and must be studied in its own context.

FRANZ BOAZ

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Society is thought to be like a biological organism with all the parts interconnected. Existing institutional structures of any society are thought to perform indispensable functions, without which the society could not continue

FUNCTIONALISM

Culture is said to be shaped by environmental and technological conditions. Cultures evolve when people are able to increase the amount of energy under their control.

NEO-EVOLUTIONISM

Culture is the product of the “material conditions” in which a given community of people finds itself
