Q: "Who should define culture?' A: The experts; modern-day societies are studied by sociologist and extinct societies studied by anthropologists. If you are in search for a definition of 'culture' then check a social sciences dictionary or encyclopedia. As far as the rest of your rant is concerned; TLDR and don't care either. "Cultural demands of feminism"? Feminism is CROSS-CULTURAL du-uh. Read a book, preferably one with 'INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY' in the title: "CULTURE' The generally shared knowledge, beliefs and values of members of society. Culture is conveyed from generation to generation through the process of socialization... culture is made up of ideas... Culture and social structure are considered as the two key components of society and are therefore the foundation concepts of sociology." edit: Cuture by definition cant't be 'thrust', unless you are talking about cultural imperialism - which involves one culture subjugating another, weaker one. This usually involves the use of might; might = military power. ps: 'define' means to DEFINE; no more, no less. It's not your place to re-define, "define" - lol!

1.The word culture comes from the Latin root colere (to inhabit, to cultivate, or to honor). In general, it refers to human activity; different definitions of culture reflect different theories for understanding, or criteria for valuing, human activity. Anthropologists use the term to refer to the universal human capacity to classify experiences, and to encode and communicate them symbolically. They regard this capacity as a defining feature of the genus Homo.

2.The reflection and prefiguration of the possibilities of organization of everyday life in a given historical moment; a complex of aesthetics, feelings and mores through which a collectivity reacts on the life that is objectively determined by its economy. (We are defining this term only in the perspective of creating values, not in that of teaching them.)


3.The accumulated habits, attitudes, and beliefs of a group of people that define for them their general behavior and way of life; the total set of learned activities of a people.

4.The values, traditions, norms, customs, arts, history, folklore, and institutions that a group of people, who are unified by race, ethnicity, language, nationality, or religion, share.

5.Common beliefs and practices of a group of people. The integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon man's capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations.

6.learned behavior of people, which includes their belief systems and languages, their social relationships, their institutions and organizations, and their material goods - food, clothing, buildings, tools, and machines.
