What is culture? How does it relate to the study of anthropology?

Question

please help :)

Answer 1

Culture, in this sence, is all of the human activity of a given group of people.  It is everything about such a group of people from their language and phrases, to what the eat and how they live.  In America we have many different cultures (not counting those that came in from other countries recently).  Think of it as when you go to a foreign country, what would be different or the same other than just the terrain.  For instance, giving the thumbs up in Greece means something entirely different than a thumbs up in the US.  These are cultural differences.  What those people (any group of people) are like is their culture.

Anthropology is the study of this concept.  Anthropologists study cultures.  This is especially true of Cultural Anthropologists and Archaeologists (both subfields of Anthropology).  Linguistics (another subfield) studies the languages of groups of people, and Physical Anthropologists study the physical part of people.  Their traits, their evolution, their identification (in forensics), etc.

Answer 2

Anthropology is the study of different cultures. Culture is collected ideas and beliefs that one particular group believes in.
