Culture is the learned and shared way of life of a group of people. It includes the knowledge, beliefs, values, customs, traditions, language, art, morals, laws, institutions, and material objects that individuals acquire as members of society. In social anthropology, culture is regarded as the central concept for understanding human behavior and social organization. It distinguishes human beings from other animals by enabling them to learn, create, preserve, and transmit patterns of behavior across generations. Anthropologists such as E.B. Tylor defined culture as a "complex whole" comprising knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, customs, and other capabilities and habits acquired by humans as members of society. Later anthropologists like Bronislaw Malinowski, A.R. Radcliffe-Brown, and Clifford Geertz further emphasized the functional, structural, and symbolic aspects of culture. One of the primary characteristics of culture is that it is learned rather than inherited biologically. Every individual learns culture through the process of socialization or enculturation. Children acquire language, customs, values, and behavioral norms by interacting with family members, peers, educational institutions, and society. Thus, cultural behavior is the result of learning and experience rather than genetic inheritance. Culture is also shared. It belongs to a group rather than to an individual. Members of a society share common beliefs, values, customs, and traditions, which provide them with a sense of identity and belonging. Shared culture promotes cooperation, social integration, and continuity within society. Another important characteristic is that culture is transmitted from one generation to another. This transmission takes place through language, education, observation, imitation, rituals, stories, and social practices. Cultural transmission ensures that the accumulated knowledge and experiences of previous generations are preserved and passed on, allowing societies to maintain continuity
