This document discusses key concepts relating to culture, including what constitutes a culture, how culture is learned and shared between generations, and important components of culture like language, values, norms, and symbols. It also examines subcultures, cultural universals, and how technology impacts culture on a global scale. Specific topics covered include cultural relativism, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis regarding language and perception, emerging values in modern societies, and debates around sociobiology and its focus on biology's influence on human behavior.
