A thought provoking statement rather than a question in the general sense. I see culture as being collective, of knowledge and values, and also customs and social behaviour within a particular group, while human thought, although shaped by the influences of culture, is individual and private.
It will be so interesting to read how others respond.
Culture exhibits the ways humans interpret their environments. It reveals that some needs are common to all people—at all times and in all places: they are the need to make a living, the need for social organization, the need for knowledge and learning, the need for normative and metaphysical expression, and the need for aesthetic manifestation. So, there is much to learn from applications of culture theory, a short note on which is at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254583153_Culture_Theory.
hese are solid, perennial reasons to look up “culture” in the dictionary. But why did more people than usual look it up this year? The editors at Merriam-Webster decline to speculate. They note, merely, that “the term conveys a kind of academic attention to systematic behavior.” Here’s my theory: more people looked up “culture” this year because it’s become an unsettling word. “Culture” used to be a good thing. Now it’s not. That isn’t to say that American culture has gotten worse. (It has gotten worse in some ways, and better in others.) It’s to say that the word “culture” has taken on a negative cast. The most positive aspect of “culture”—the idea of personal, humane enrichment—now seems especially remote. In its place, the idea of culture as unconscious groupthink is ascendent.
culture is a practice of living life in ethical manner. as subjects of one place we project our culture.in modern times as distance became less, we are trying to adapt other cultures to along with ours.we can welcome other cultures also by taking good from them while preserving ours.
culture is the full range of learned human behavior patterns. Culture is also defined in terms of intercultural communication. Culture adds to the notion of communicative competence and enlarges it to incorporate intercultural competence. It builds understandings about their own and others’ cultural traditions, values and beliefs. It involves processes that may lead to an enhanced ability to move between cultures and to cultural change. As Language teacher,culture can be viewed as the customs, traditions or practices that people carry out as part of their everyday lives. Culture refers to knowledge and skills that are more generalize in nature and transferable across cultures. This body of knowledge includes among other things, the concept of culture, the nature of cultural adjustment and learning, the impact of culture on communication and interaction between individuals or groups, the stress associated with intense culture and language immersions , coping strategies for dealing with stress, the role of emotions in cross-cultural, cross-linguistic interactions and so forth.
