CULTURE

The social artistic and scientific heritage of a community or society. The intergenerational communication of information, other than genetic information, in the form of material artefacts (e.g., tools, weapons, buildings, works of art) distinctive forms of behavior (e.g., songs, rituals, institutions, organizational forms) and systems of distinctions (classifications, histories, knowledge coded in symbols, ideas or beliefs). Culture incorporates individual and collective responses to environmental conditions and its content is continually subjected to evolutionary processes such as random mutation, recombination and selection. (Krippendorff)
