CULTURE & SOCIETY AS
A COMPLEX WHOLE
CULTURE
A society cannot exist apart from
culture. A society may refer to group of
people that follows or shares same
cultures. People, as members of the
society, possess, produce and also
transmit culture but they cannot
consider themselves as culture.
EDWARD TAYLOR
Edward Tylor, one of the founders of
modern anthropology, characterize
culture as a “complex whole” which
encompasses beliefs, practices, traits,
values, attitudes, laws, norms,
artifacts, symbols, knowledge and
everything that a person learns and
shares as a member of the society.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
CULTURE
CULTURE
Culture is social because it is the
product of behavior.

Culture does not exist in isolation. It is

a product of society. It develops
through social interaction. No man
can acquire culture without
association with others.
CULTURE
Culture varies from society to society.
Every society has a culture of its own
that differs from other societies. The
culture of every society is unique by
itself. Cultures are not uniform.
Cultural elements like customs,
traditions, morals, values, and beliefs
are not constant.
CULTURE
Culture is shared.

Culture is not something that an

individual alone can possess. Culture,
in sociological sense, is shared. For
example, people of a society share all
customs, traditions, beliefs, ideas,
values, morals, etc.
CULTURE
Culture is learned.

Culture is not inborn. It is learned.

Unlearned behavior then, is not
culture.
CULTURE
Culture is transmitted among members
of society.
Cultural ways are learned by people
from others. Many of these ways are
handed down from elders, parents,
teachers, and others, while other
cultural behaviors are handed up
to elders.
CULTURE
Culture is continuous and cumulative.
Culture exists as a continuous process.
In its historical growth, it tends to
become cumulative. Ralph Linton
called culture “the social heritage” of
man. No culture ever remains
constant or permanent. It is subject to
slow but constant variation.
