Question

Most traditional definitions of _____ center around the notion that it is the sum of the values, rituals, symbols, beliefs, and thought processes that are learned, shared by a group of people, and transmitted from generation to generation.

A. congruence
B. sensitivity
C. rituals
D. demography
E. culture

Answer 1

E. Culture

Step-by-step explanation:

As the definition implies, Culture can be almost anything that has some form of social acceptance, because culture is not necessarily accepted by the mainstream society, but it is not individual either.

For example, the following things are part of U.S. culture: Apple Pie (food), the Statue of Liberty (symbols), freedom of speech (values), thanksgiving (rituals), the idea that the government should be democratic (beliefs), among many other things.

Anthropology is the academic subject that most often studies culture, however, other fields such as sociology, economics, law and even biology, study cultural phenomena in order to reach conclusions in each field.
