Culture
Culture is the man made part of the environment which
provides a comprehensive frame work for understanding the way of life of a
person, his beliefs, values, norms, behavior etc. Culture is one of those terms
that are difficult to express clearly, but everyone knows it when they sense
it.
Our behavior is driven by three forces:
1. Human Nature: this is inherited
and universally shared across all human cultures
2. Culture: Our collective
programming which is learned, not inherited
3. Personality: Personality is the
additional unique set of mental programme not shared with other human beings.
It is partly inherited and partly learned.
Kinds of Cultures
1. Strong Culture: in strong culture, the conceptual
principles or values are translated very directly into people‘s day to day
lives. For example, the military has a definite set of values and very strong
culture. They are enforced through external rules and regulations as well as
internal education.
2. Weak Culture: some have a set of generally accepted
conceptual values, yet these do not really translate to daily life. For
example, religious values in western countries.
