...thumb|Petroglyphs in State Reserve|Gobustan, Azerbaijan, dating back to 10,000 BC indicating a thriving culture]thumb| Egypt art, 1,400 BC]thumb|The Hasht-Behesht Palace]Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate")Harper, Douglas (2001). Online Etymology Dictionary is a term that has different meanings. For example, in 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of 164 definitions of "culture" in Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions.Kroeber, A. L. and C. Kluckhohn, 1952. Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions. However, the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses:

Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture
An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning
The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group

When the concept first emerged in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe, it connoted a process of cultivation or improvement, as in agriculture or horticulture. In the nineteenth century, it came to refer first to the betterment or refinement of the individual, especially through education, and then to the fulfillment of national aspirations or ideals.

	Culture????????????? 1. What is culture and why is it important to understand when studying history? 2. How are cultures and belief systems around the world similar and different?	Related Search: Other - Cultures & Groups

	Hotep, Culture as I understand it, is the acceptable norms and practices of a region. It is not attached to a person or race, but a region. This is important to understand when studying history. We cannot in all fairness judge the past, solely on our own culture. What is acceptable in one culture is not acceptable in another, or what was acceptable is not acceptable today; and perhaps wont be again tomorrow. Next, regardless of culture, time or beliefs, it is generally accepted that there are certain norms; not murdering, raping, stealing. However, every region has its own culture and often times different belief systems, so what is acceptable in one region is not necessarily acceptable in another; for instance, committing suicide in feudal Japan was honorable, the marriage of children was acceptable in Africa, Middle East and Far East, and women who could swim in America were considered witches and put to death.
