Chapter Summary
Anthropologists Use The Concept Of Culture To Understand The Diversity Of Human Experience.
Culture Is The Shared, Socially Learned Knowledge And Patterns Of Behavior That Are Unique
To A Group Of People. Culture Is Not Only Essential For Humanity, But It Is Also The Key To
Our Successful Adaptation In A Wide Variety Of Environments.
Though Definitions Vary Widely, Anthropologists Generally Agree On Certain
Characteristics Of Culture: It Is Learned, Shared, Has A Profound Impact On The Group Of
People Who Share It, And Is Central To Understanding The Different Ways In Which Groups Of
People Act, Think, And Feel. In A Narrow Sense, Culture Can Be Defined As A Mental
Phenomenon; Material Artifacts And Behaviors, For Example, Are Products Of Culture In This
Sense. Broadly Defined, Culture Refers To The Way Of Life Of A Given Group Of People And
Explains The Distinctiveness Of The Group. Culture Is Shared By Definition, And Always
Socially Learned. Biological Differences Do Not Explain Cultural Differences; They Are
Independent Of Each Other. Culture Is Passed From One Generation To The Next, And Trans-
Mitted From Place To Place At Any Given Time.
Attitudes, Beliefs, Assumptions About The World And Other Socially Learned Information
That Is Stored In The Mind, Is Called Cultural Knowledge. The Five Components Of Cultural
Knowledge Are: Norms, Values, Symbols, Constructions Of Reality (Including The Natural And
Social Worlds), And World Views Through Which Reality Is Interpreted. Culture Knowledge Is
Learned Through Encultur- Ation. It Is Necessary For Human Existence Because It Enables Us
To Adapt To Our Environments And Provides The Basis For Human Life, As Well As Shaping
Our View Of Reality.
