"Everything we do not have to do"

Just into week two of the module. It seems like it's going to be very interesting and i'm looking forward to the topics we will be covering in the following weeks. There are lots of enthralling definitions and writings based around the concept of culture but at the end of the day we have to try and strive to find one distinctive meaning to describe it. So what is CULTURE?

In class culture was defined as "Everything we do not have to do." When you think of it this description of culture is the simpliest and most accurate way to illustrate it. Culture is based around the choices we make, how we choose to express ourselves, our ideas, our morals and our tastes. And when we take a collectively look at culture on a mass scale is when things really start to get interesting. This will take us to the next section- Subcultures.
