Culture is a system of beliefs, values, norms, symbols and constructs operating in interpersonal communications as well as adaptations to the social environment. In a word, it embraces all acquisitive and non-innate behaviors and thinking. It is a homogeneous system that can be learned, taught, or handed down from one generation to another. It is a means of behavior anticipation and social control for the end purpose of social development that is the welfare of citizens.
