InTerPreTatioN of CulTuRes _II

A society's culture consists of whatever it is one has to know or believe in order to operate in a manner acceptable to its members. Culture is not a material phenomenon; it does not consist of things, people, behaviour or emotions. It is rather an organization of things. It is the form of things that people have in mind, their models for percieving, relating, and otherwise interpreting them_

W. Goodenough, 1957
