1. How is culture characterized and described?
Culture is Characterized and described by the religious types of food, languages, norms, clothing, art, music, or anything similar to those things. Cultures provide essential social and economic benefits. It makes a difference in how we view ourselves and others. It affects our valuesâwhat we consider right and wrong. This is how the society we live in influences our choices. But our choices can also influence others and ultimately help shape our society. Some examples of culture are that in India, people greet each other with namaste, while in the U.S. people shake hands with each other. In Mexico, some traditional dishes you would find are enchiladas, burritos, tacos, tortillas, and tamales. Although, if you go to the middle east, in Jordan for example, you will most likely find kebabs, falafels, hummus, and shawarma. These are just some examples of different cultures around the world.
2. How are ideas about place and identity defined by culture groups?
Place identity was initially introduced by Proshansky (1978), who defined place identity as âthose dimensions of self that define the individualâs personal identity in relation to the physical environment by means of a complex pattern of conscious and unconscious ideas, feelings, values, goals, preferences, skills, and behavioral tendencies relevant to a specific environmentâ. Without the ideas of place and identity, we wouldnât have cultural groups. Culture is Characterized and described by the religious types of food, languages, norms, clothing, art, music, or anything similar to those things. Â We need ideas, feelings, values, goals, preferences, skills, and behavioral tendencies to have cultures.
3. How do culture traits move and develop through time and space across different scales?
Culture traits move and develop through time and space across different scales by spreading/sharing beliefs and starting traditions. If people pass something down from family to family, friends, to friends, it becomes a norm tradition. For example, itâs a tradition in America to drink eggnog or hot chocolate during Christmas. There is no specific reason as to why people do it, itâs just a tradition being used by families. Another example of traditions is eating a turkey during thanksgiving, eating with hands in India, and bullfighting in Mexico.
4. Why does the concept of region help us understand the distribution of culture?
Culture regions can be found in urban, suburban, or rural settings. these are urban culture regions whose borders are defined by the locations of specific cultural communities. Culture regions, like cultures themselves, display considerable variety. Different cities around the world have ethnic mixes. culture regions may provide important perspectives on contemporary problems that are rooted in cultural differences
5. How does the interaction of language, religion, ethnicity, and gender cause conflict on different scales?
Cultural interaction may explain the presence and or absence of particular traits in certain areas. The relationships that often exist between cultural components that characterize a given community start here. This demonstrates that cultural components may be interrelated. Few culture traits have the power and importance of religion. Indeed, religion is a key to understanding the way of life of a particular cultural community.
6. How does culture shape the relationships between humans and the environment, in terms of landscapes, values, beliefs, and architecture?
Culture shapes the relationships between humans and the environment, in terms of landscapes, values, beliefs, and architecture. People of all regions and times have left their cultural imprints on Earth, and many of these endure. As a result, the cultural landscape may be a tool for understanding the history and status of a given area, as well as current trends. Finally, in some cultural contexts, the notion of favorable (or unfavorable) locations and sacred directions dictates the placement and orientation of landscape elements. Culture is very influential in our daily lives and how we live it.
