Definition of culture
I.
Define Culture to the ff. aspect:
A. Norms
B. Morals
C. Values
Norms are the agreed-upon expectations and rules by which a culture guides the behavior of its
members in any given situation. Of course, norms vary widely across cultural groups.
By “Moral development” I will be referring to the process through which a human being acquires
sensibilities, attitudes, beliefs, skills, and dispositions that render him or her a morally mature or
adequate human being. Of course, this definition is, at best, a mere shell, empty of content; for it tells us
nothing about what those sensibilities, attitudes, beliefs, skills, and dispositions are that mark one as a
morally adequate human being. – (http://parenthood.library.wisc.edu/Pekarsky/Pekarsky.html)
A culture’s values are its ideas about what is good, right, fair, and just. Sociologists disagree, however,
on how to conceptualize values. – (http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/CliffsReviewTopic/CulturalValues.topicArticleId-26957,articleId-26852.html)
