Question

Please answer all the questions(3).

Answer 1

Great question. Culture as a concept has only been in circulation since the late eighteenth century, and it only took on its anthropological meaning (i.e. Aftrican American culture, Irish culture, etc.) in the late nineteenth century in the work of Franz Boas. In recent years, the concept has received a sustained amount of academic criticism because it often appears to merely stand in for the idea of "race" by reducing individuals to their culture or to a set of shared physical attributes.

I would recommend checking out Michael Denning's Culture in the Age of Three Worlds as well as Hannah Arendt's Between Past and Future to find out more.

My answer to your particular question is simply that "culture" is as real or delusional as any other concept. For that reason, I am more interested in the question: is "culture" conceptually useful? Does it help us think through certain problems (e.g. questions of difference between various groups of people)?

Answer 2

Culture exists. Its physical components are the people the way they dress, the works they create, roads, houses, farms food, music, etc. All of which are a reflection of the moral principles that guide that particular culture.

Answer 3

Yes there is culture, The physical aspects of culture is the new design of a car the colors of a hat the baseball things. Music and the ever changing BS that is all around you

Answer 4

Every human behavior is part of a culture
The physical components of culture are : you, your mind, your body, your ideas, and the way you communicate with people around you
Delusion... ???? you probably meant more : Illusion .. no it is not

Answer 5

We could probably say that the culture is all the actions, texts and institutions which have a meaning. We could than say that all of these are some kinds of signs (since they have a meaning, they make sense). Thus to answer your question we would have to build methaphysical theory of the sign (what is it, how does it exists etc).

Answer 6

1. Yes

2. In most cases its the physical aspects of the traditions and values of any particular group. Often being mixed with others.

3. No, its not just an illusion.
