  2. CULTURE???? • A way of life of a group of people • 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 • Everything that people have, think, and do as members of society • Social heritage of a person • Way of life of a society, consisting of prescribed ways of behaving or norms of conduct, beliefs, values, and skills • Sum total of life patterns passed on from generation to generation within a group

  5. The Iceberg Metaphor • The metaphor of culture as an “iceberg” is extremely helpful in that it identifies aspects of culture that are: • Immediately visible= explicit, visible, taught (above the water line). Only about one-eighth of an iceberg is visible above the water. The rest is below. • Part of the iceberg that emerges & submerges with the tides= “now you see it, now you don’t” (at the water line) • Deep beneath the surface= “hidden culture” (below the water line)
