Reflection Paper IV

From the reading of: “Culture: What It Is,” is discover how different writers find their own meaning to culture and those meanings where according to what they observed from people and what they had knowledge of. Edward Burnett Tylor formulated a modern technical definition of culture which was the classic definition. Culture for me is what we learn, what we are born with, what our parents teach us and it is also our religious adaptation. You cannot have a specific definition for culture because culture is diversity because every nation has their own ways, adaptations and have different life values.
On the other hand, Matthew Arnold's critic Tylor view of culture of being one love of perfection and the study of perfection; and he also stated that the cultured person is one who knows the best that has been said and thought in the world. There were also other definitions of culture about people style, personality etc…
The second lecture of this week talks about the second part of transformation context. This transformation context is the one that deal with our growth and with our growth comes our culture. In addition, the way we communicate, the way we act, and the theory that we put in practice. Culture is about accepting your origin and the others too, it also believes in who you are by believing in yourself first. If you do not have a culture it is feeling like not have an identity that is how important culture is and that is what those lectures are trying to make us understand.
