Elaborate on the meaning, characteristics and role of culture?

Culture refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give importance to those patterns. Different people have different definitions of "culture", and culture usually includes writing, language, region, etc. A people's culture can be roughly referred to in terms of the form of its life.

Its features include:

1. First of all, culture is common, it is a series of common concepts, values and codes of conduct, and it is a common standard that makes individual behavioral ability accepted by the collective. Culture and society are closely related, there would be no culture without society, but there would also be a society without culture. Within the same society, there are also cultural inconsistencies.

For example, in any society, there is a difference between the culture of men and the culture of women. In addition, there are subcultural differences between different ages, occupations, classes, etc.

2. Culture is learned, not born through heredity. The way in which physiological satisfaction is is determined by culture, and each culture determines how those needs are met. From this point of view, non-human primates are also capable of various cultural behaviors, but these cultural behaviors are only one-way cultural manifestations such as termite eating and vigilant cries.

This is only a small part of the vast and complex system of cultural symbols in human society.

3. The foundation of culture is symbolism. The most important of these are language and writing, but they also include other forms of expression, such as images (e.g., totemic flags), body movements (e.g., shaking hands, sticking out the tongue), and behavioral interpretations (gift-giving). We can almost say that the entire cultural system is deeply rooted in the human mind through a vast system of symbols, and people interpret the things presented in front of them through this system of symbols.

Therefore, how to interpret the essence of various symbols in culture has become one of the important ways for social disciplines such as anthropology and linguistics to interpret the human mind.

In addition, there is a tendency for culture to integrate as a whole in relation to each other.

Culture first has three characteristics: the first is the survival structure, which is the sum of the livelihood behavior system generated in the face of different living environments and survival structures, which is the most basic of culture. The second is the way of thinking, that is, due to the difference in living environment and living structure, it will inevitably bring about differences in the text symbol system, and the difference in the text symbol system will create different thinking patterns.

The third is called the obscuring effect, and any cultural ideology and theoretical system is not the truth. Any cultural ideology is nothing more than an inherently self-consistent system of interpretation. For this reason, if you stand within your own cultural structure, you will never be able to break through it, and we call this effect the occlusion effect.

In order for culture to break the barrier, it must rely on the collision and exchange of different cultures.
