According to (Kidd & Teagle, 2002, p114) culture is discribed as the way of life of a social group including their values, norms, behaviour pattens, customs and rituals and even material objects. (Giddens, 2001, p22) states that culture refrs to the way of life of the members of a society, or of groups within a society. It includes how they dress, their marriage customs and family life, their patterns of work, religions ceremonies and leisure pursuits. Howerver Gidden also adds that, no culture could exist without culture and without culture we would not be human at all. We would have no language in which we can express ourselves, no sense of self-consciousness or have the ability to think or reason.

Culture is one of the most relevant elements that can define not only a society but also a country’s cumulative beliefs and system. Often noted as the origins of a country, culture is definitive in the sense that it harbors all the elements that can provide justification on the traditions and norms set by the society for its members. More often than not, the society members follow norms in order to create a harmonious community, and the beliefs and the traditions serve as the poles or grounding rules for each member to follow. Culture is very dynamic in the way that it can change over a variety of foreign influences but what is permanent about it is that original elements about it often lingers with the influences, therefore making it multi-faceted and broad. More importantly, culture serves as an individual and unique trait each society has, and therefore sets it apart from other countries and other societies.

There were many social and economic changes that took place in human development from the Paleolithic through Neolithic periods. First, humans invented agriculture to use in their day to day lives. Next, roles of men and women began to shift. Finally, another change between these two periods had to do with living quarters. Art was affected in all of these changes made during the transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic eras.

Culture can be found in many different areas of the world. I watched the movie "The Breakfast Club" which is only one of the many places that you can find culture. "The Breakfast Club" is a movie about five high school students that come from five different backgrounds. Each of the five students did something different to earn a Saturday detention under the watch of their unenlightened principal. The group of students includes John, Claire, Allison, Andrew and Brian. John who is the rebel of the group while Claire is the princess. Allison is the person who nobody understands or cares to understand while Andrew is the high school jock. Last but not least is Brian who is known for having an A in every class. Even though each of them come from

Humans have been creating art with many different meanings and using a plethora of materials for thousands of years. Ancient non-representational ornamentation has been discovered all across Africa, featuring punctured snail shells covered in red ochre. These shells are believed to be around 82,000 years old, and have shown to be strung as beads for necklaces and other jewelry. In Israel, Nassarius beads have been discovered, reaching up to 100,000 years old. Shells that were pierced and geometrically etched with ochre were also discovered in a 75,000 year old layer of sediment.

Culture itself plays a big role in our everyday lives, many people assume that culture is tied to race but that is simply not the case anymore specifically when speaking on behalf of the people that populate the U.S. For example we can take a person from California and place him in a great job in Texas. While he may be a qualified person for the job he would stick out like a sore thumb due to the fact that culturally he simply would not fit in regardless of race. Here in this country we have so many cultures because of race and because of the fact that different regions have different environments, which is why derogative terms often derive from people seeing others in

The picture of the Paleolithic life reveals that this was a prehistoric era known as the “Stone Age” era. The discovery made by Chauvet, Lascaux, and other archeologist signifies that there was life on earth over millions of years ago. Paleolithic people depicted art on the cave walls as a way to communicate and tell the history of their existence. However, Paleolithic people not only used the cave as a canvas, but also as their living quarters. Paleolithic people were the first inventors of art. The murals created by hand stencils and finger tracing is an indication of early phases of the Paleolithic era. The depiction of animals on the cave walls were an indication of the latter phase of the Paleolithic era. Evidence of the rare findings of the Pecten (a large shell) with black coal in it signifies the coal was used for black paint. The discovery of distinctive caves signified that the people of the Paleolithic era did not all live in one central location.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of culture. Culture is one of the building blocks of life. It provides us with vital parts of of everyday life, like clothing and cuisine. It also serves as a pointer for larger-scale items, such as our heritage, customs, and traditions. Unfortunately as time has passed, certain cultures have faded away. They have been superseded by other cultures, and while the spreading of cultures can be beneficial, it is important to not neglect one’s own culture. This process has seen an increased frequency in recent years, due in part to the expanding globalization in our current world. Personally, culture is one of the main cornerstones of my life. This is partly due to its importance back home. My experiences would be different from the rest of the class, due to the fact I am in the minority of being a foreigner in the United States. Living in Boston showed me the cultural differences in the world, and I was able to use that experience to be able to distinguish between different cultures

“To further the appreciation of culture among all the people, to increase respect for the creative individual, to widen participation by all processes and fulfillment of art- this is one of the fascinating challenges of these days,” told by John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States of America. When one thinks of culture, they might think of a race or specific group of people. However, culture is really a certain or specific way that someone might live their life. Culture is everywhere, everyone has experienced it. It is not something that is created, it is already in existence. There is a plethora of cultures everywhere. But, by there being so many various cultures in this world, it might be difficult to not offend or

Cultures, our traditions, foods, and beliefs, passed on from our ancestors create experiences for us that mold us into the people we are today. In some cultures we

After all, Paleolithic cave art is the oldest art that is known to the world today. The art in the caves was representational art to express what was going on in their daily lives, such as the food they ate, the weapons they used and their hunting lives were documented. Therefore, A large portion of Paleolithic art was created to express ideas to teach the future generations of hunters and gatherers.

In the Paleolithic era, they did cave painting and sculpture of animals that were seen and connected from the past as it was represented from their depictions . Each painting can have a purpose to connect with a spiritual connection from how animals were to appear from their discovery. For example, the Hall of the Bull (fig 1.8) have those paintings and carving of animal roaming by the cave. From the image on how it was depicted, as the content reach any viewer to see what's going on through the path of the image, it textures on the wall and tool to create a visual deception from what nomad from this time have seen. In the Neolithic Era ,where times do evolves, when writing isn't around yet. people from that era did carving ,Ritual and sculpture

“Culture the entire way of life of a group of people (including both material and symbolic elements) that acts as a lens through which one views the world and is passed from one generation to the next.” “Although culture may seem to be “second nature” it is something learned, rather than innate. Because we learn it so slowly and incrementally, we are often unaware of the process. For instance, few of us would be conscious of having learned all the slang words we currently use or the distance we typically maintain from someone while talking with him/her. We may not remember exactly when we first felt patriotic or how we formed our opinions about people from the upper class. We all carry culture inside ourselves; it becomes ingrained and internalized into our way of thinking and acting. Culture guides the way we make sense of the world around us and the way we make decisions about what to do and how to do it.” However those guidelines are not always embraced my every family member, so then the family traditions and cultural behaviors can become a burden to the family member who wants to branch out and lead a

Growing up, I never fully understood the meaning of culture. Culture was not only a foreign word to me, but a foreign concept that I could not even think of grasping. I was hidden from the world, both physically and emotionally and I was unaware of the immense barrier that I had constructed in my own heart and mind. I was comfortable. I was “happy.” But I was ignorant.
