    — The definition of typical or natural in any given social setting or state of affairs is
    determined by cultural presumptions. There are situations where traits of socially
    designated natural conditions do not correspond with the characteristics of individuals or
    even entire social groups.

    — Your comprehension of the intricacy of daily existence and the social patterns and
    meanings embedded in customs, literature, artifacts, and beliefs will improve with a

    creation, dissemination, and interchange of cultural practices and meanings.

    3. What are the elements or components that define CULTURE?


    — The elements of culture are predicated on five primary components, namely:
    language, rituals, symbols, norms, values and beliefs. Non-material cultural components
    such as spoken words, body language, and symbols are all related to language usage.
