MattO Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 So the topic is 'can we have beliefs or knowledge which are independent of our culture' I have tried to define culture as as being a group of people or peoples who hold the same or similar values, whether it be religious or political, and when a situation arises, would have similar views on the subject. Can anyone tell me if this would be a valid definition, thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder7 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi! I think your definition is a good one. Although its probably a good idea to state the strenghts and limitations of your definition in your presentation. It is a hard concept to define. You could compare your definition to Matsumoto's, Kuschel's, Looner's, or Hofstede's definitions. (For example: "according to Lonner, culture can be defined as common rules that regulate interacions and behaviour in a group as well as a number of shared values and attitudes to this group." And then you could relate the definition to your topic.good luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
