Culture generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance. Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity. In general, the term culture denotes the whole product of an individual, group or society of intelligent beings. It includes technology, art, science, as well as moral systems and the characteristic behaviors and habits of the selected intelligent entities. In particular, it has specific meanings that are more detailed in different domains of human activities. Anthropologists most commonly use the term "culture" to refer to the universal human capacity to classify, codify and communicate their experiences symbolically. This capacity has long been taken as a defining feature of the humans. However, primatologists have identified aspects of culture among human's closest relatives in the animal kingdom. It can be also said that " It is the way people live in accordance to beliefs, language, history, or the way they dress." Culture consists of four elements that are "passed on from generation to generation by learning alone": 1. Values 2. Norms 3. Institutions 4. Artifacts
