Culture refers to the customs, arts, attitudes, institutions, and other traits that characterize a particular society or nation.Culture is a part of the social system and hierarchically equal to an economic system, political system, or legal system.
Sir Edward B. Tylor wrote in 1871 that "culture or civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society."
While a 2002 document from the United Nations agency UNESCO states that culture is the "set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group and that it encompasses.
In addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs". [UNESCO, 2002 (http://www.unesco.org/education/imld_2002/unversal_decla.shtml)] While these two definitions are broad, they do not exhaust the many uses of this concept -- in 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of more than 200 different definitions of culture in their book, Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions. [Kroeber and Kluckhohn, 1952].
