The term “culture” comes from anthropologists’ studies of human societies. Culture is the particular configuration of behaviors, norms, attitudes, values, beliefs and basic assumptions that differ from society to society. This means that culture is not ‘objective’_________1___________. Culture can look different depending upon who does the looking, when they look and from what direction. Culture has been defined in many ways but a classic definition is: Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior, acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups...the essential core of culture consists of traditional (i.e. historically derived and selected) ideas and especially their attached values. Culture tells people what is, how it got that way, and what ought to be. Culture is not a rationally based belief system. Rather, Culture refers to taken-for-granted beliefs, values, norms and basic assumptions that have proven useful in adapting to uncertainty and integration. It is for these reasons that cultures are often difficult to understand from afar. Culture is more emotionally charged and resistant to change than are rational beliefs because it gives people some sense of confidence in facing the threat posed by uncertainties, and because it arises in the very circumstances that cannot be fully understood or predicted by rational means. Deep-seated belief in one’s culture is also reinforced through culturally accepted ways of expressing and affirming beliefs, values and basic assumptions. There are sets of cultural forms, such as rituals, that groups use to express their cultures. In an organization these events, origin myths and legends . The location, duration, formality and interaction between people in a meeting ( a type of ritual ) can differ considerably between societies. Cultural forms imbue actions and thing with meanings, they enable people to communicate and to celebrate their cultures in many different ways which generate feelings of identity and community.
