Keywords:
Culture, Characteristic, Aspect and languageAbstract
Culture is the product of human interactions and the determinant of human culture. It is this invaluable possession of man that differentiates him from other animals. Every society has a culture that has been handed down from earlier generations affecting the ongoing process of interactions. Society and culture are related but not synonymous. Society is the group in interaction and culture is the product. Neither can be fully understood without the other. Culture comprises the ways by which human being behave with reference to others individual and objects in a given situation. The ways of behaving are nothing but the expected responses on the part of a person. Culture is therefore a way of life, a mode of behaviors and the style by which people respond to the attitude of others. Culture in the society standardized ways of thinking, feeling and acting that the human acquires as a members of society. Without a shared culture, members of society would be unable to communicate and cooperate. Culture exists in the mind of the members of a society. Culture is learned. No individual is born with readymade culture. It is the pattern of culture that makes human behaviors meaningful and significant. Knowledge is one element of culture through that we can share mental activity.
