Culture

> "A culture is a configuration of learned behaviors and results of behavior whose component elements are shared and transmitted by the members of a particular society" (p. 32). >
 * Linton, R. (1945). //The Cultural Background of Personality.// New York.**

Culture is a term used by social scientist for a people's whole way of life. The word 'culture' may refer to activities in such fields as art, literature, and music. But to social scientist, a people's culture consists of the ideas, objects, and ways of doing things created by a group. Culture includes arts, beliefs, customs, inventions, language, technology and traditions. Culture consists of learned ways of acting, feeling, and thinking, rather than biologically determined ways.

What makes Folk Culture different from Mass Culture is the fact that Folk Culture keeps its origin and with it comes a sense of place. It is not international. Folk Culture is traditional it is the "root" of an individual's heritage and way of living. It is the traditional food we eat, music we hear and the traditional stories that we have heard from our grandparents.
