Auteurs : Tiliouine Mustapha .

Résumé

Culture is that complex whole made up of customs, traditions, knowledge, and symbols that distinguish one society from another. It aims to refine behavior, develop awareness, and achieve adaptation to the natural and social environment. The text distinguishes between material and non-material culture, as well as between general culture and subcultures. It also explains the relationship between culture and behavior, and highlights the characteristics of culture such as continuity, independence, and integration. It concludes that culture is not a secondary element, but rather a comprehensive framework that gives meaning to human existence and enables individuals to face challenges through their symbolic and intellectual creations, making the human being a fundamentally cultural entity.
