Culture and its types

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.
