how culture gratifies human needs?

Answer 1

culture provides a continual distraction from ordinary preoccupations with human needs

Answer 2

Gratifies

Answer 3

I would say that culture gratifies human needs by giving motivation for members of the community to donate their talents to something greater than themselves. This will take in the field of "religion" as well. If you are a skilled carpenter or stone mason being asked to help build a classical age temple or a middle ages church would have been an honor. We often look back on the classical age Greeks and Romans as somehow being more enlightened than later nations yet even then certain beliefs were simply relegated to the level of "cults". Look at how paleo-anthropologists refuse to recognize the possiblility of Neanderthals as being fully human since they haven't found and evidence pointing to "culture".

Answer 4

You seem to be positing the usual social science dualism between the engendering of culture by people and the engendering of people by culture. As if culture was some arbitrary construct that existed outside human beings.

Answer 5

Don't understand.
