Abstract

Culture fundamentally concerns patterns of meaning and the alignment of individuals to those patterns. As old as humanity itself, culture remains central to any discussion of human beings, history, and identity. While some view culture as communication and others as identity, all agree that culture is fundamentally about human social existence.
