What Is Culture?
How would you describe the culture of Kazakhstan?
Would you talk about the way we dress?

Слайд 3Culture
can be defined as the language, norms, values, beliefs, and
more that, together, form a people's way of life.
Слайд 4Culture is an essential part of being human.
For example,
someone
who lives in the RK could be part of the
national culture in addition to the distinct culture of the South, a religious community, a heritage group, and more.

Material Vs. Nonmaterial Culture
Can be categorized as either material or
nonmaterial culture.
Material culture
includes all the physical things that people create
and attach meaning to.
Clothing, food, tools, and architecture are examples of material culture that most people would think of.
Слайд 6Nonmaterial culture
includes creations and abstract ideas that are not embodied
in physical objects.
Social roles, rules, ethics, and beliefs are just
some examples.
Слайд 7Culture Vs. Nation Vs. Society
A nation
is a territory with
designated borders.
A society
is a population in which people interact and share
common interests.
Слайд 8To illustrate the difference between these three concepts, think of
the lost city of Atlantis

Слайд 17Elements of Culture: Explanation of the Major Elements That Define
Culture
Symbols
Language
Values
Types Of Norms
Слайд 18In this lesson, we identify four of the elements that
exist in every culture, albeit in different forms: symbols, language,
values, and norms.
We also differentiate between folkways and mores.
Слайд 19Elements Of Culture
In this lesson, we are going to take
a closer look at those elements, specifically symbols, language, values,
and norms.
These elements look different across cultures, and many change with time as a society evolves.
Слайд 20Symbols
A symbol is anything that is used to stand for something else.
People who share a culture often attach a specific meaning
to an object, gesture, sound, or image.
For example, a cross is a significant symbol to Christians.
Слайд 21The flag represents our entire country.
A red light at
a traffic intersection is used to relay the message that
you need to stop your vehicle.
Слайд 22Language
Language is a system of words and symbols used to communicate
with other people.
This includes full languages as we usually
think of them.
But it also includes body language, slang, and common phrases that are unique to certain groups of people.
Слайд 23Another example of how cultural languages differ beyond vocabulary is
the fact that eye contact represents different meanings in different
cultures.
Слайд 24Values
Values, which are culturally defined standards for what is good
or desirable.
Members of the culture use the shared system
of values to decide what is good and what is bad.
Слайд 25Types Of Norms
Norms are culturally defined expectations of behavior.
They are
guidelines we use to determine how we should behave in
any given situation and what would be considered inappropriate behavior.
Слайд 26Folkways are norms that dictate appropriate behavior for routine or casual
interaction.
Mores are norms that dictate morally right or wrong behavior.
These are rules for behavior that are so important that they usually don't even get written down because they go without saying.
