Introduction 

Culture carries with it a lot of definitions. Every particular society comes with its own defined culture. 

For example, culture can be defined as: 

• the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people 
• the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement are regarded collectively
• that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of a society

Culture is the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people 

In consideration of this definition, shows that culture is intangible but reflected, lived or practised through what people do. For example, the phrase “social behaviour” and the words “customs” and “ideas” call for an act or imply that a practical activity has to be done on the part of people. 

Furthermore, it shows that culture is not a one-size-fits-all issue since it is for a particular people. Therefore, an outsider to a particular society may not understand the culture of that society.

Culture as the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement are regarded collectively

This definition interprets that culture is depicted outwardly through skills and displays humans show. These skills can be in the form of paintings, sculptures and drawings among others. Furthermore, the expressions which people show define their culture. These expressions can be through dressing and exhibitions. All these aspects; skills, displays and expressions are even or common in meaning in the society in question. And again, culture can be interchanged through shared manifestations and arts among people. 

Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society

The expression of this definition is that culture is learnt or acquired within one’s society. That is, one is born culture-free and has to acquire it through learning. Also to take note of here is that, culture has boundaries. That is, a non-member of another society may not understand the culture of another society. 

Conclusion 

Culture is diverse in different societies or people. However, the common thing about it (culture) is that it is intangible yet experienced and expressed in peoples’ lives. It is also adaptable or subject to being acquired or learned by people.
