What is Culture?

Today we looked more closely at culture and how we define culture. Formally defined as ‘The ideas, customs and social behaviour of particular people or society’ culture plays a huge role in shaping the media that is produced around the world and how it is interpreted by different groups of people.

Within culture there exists smaller subsets, the ones we looked at were dominant culture, subcultures and counter cultures. It is important to recognise the power that certain culture may have and how that affects their interactions with other cultures. It is no coincidence that these different subsets always occur in society because there will never be a single culture that can truly define an entire group of people.
