What is culture?
'...we will define the concept of culture as "everything that people have, think, and do as members of a society."...That is, everything that people have refers to the things they carry around in their heads, such as ideas, values, and attitudes; and everything that people do refers to behavior patterns. Thus, all cultures are composed of material objects; ideas, values, and attitudes; and patterned ways of behaving.'

‘Although culture and society are tightly interwoven and cannot exist without each other, they are not identical. A society is a group of people living in a defined territory and participating in a common culture. Culture is that society’s total way of life.’ Shepard, J. M., 2009. Sociology. 10th ed. Belmont: Wadsworth, p. 63
