Culture is the systems of knowledge shared by a relatively large group of people. Culture is communication, communication is culture. Culture is the sum total of ideas, beliefs, values, material cultural equipments and non-material aspects which man makes as a member of society. Culture can be conceived as a continuous, cumulative reservoir containing both material and non-material elements that are socially transmitted from generation to generation. Culture is continuous because cultural patterns transcend years, reappearing in successive generations. Culture is cumulative because each generation contributes to the reservoir. Culture in its broadest sense is cultivated behavior; that is the totality of a person's learned, accumulated experience which is socially transmitted, or more briefly, behavior through social learning.
