Abstract

As well as describing the content of libraries, museums, moral and religious codes of conduct, the word ‘culture’ is commonly used to describe social life. As such, ‘culture’ is the living sum of symbols, meanings, habits, values, institutions, behaviours and social artifacts which characterize a distinctive and identified human population group. It confers upon individuals identity as members of some visible community and standards for relating to the environment, for identifying fellow members and strangers, and for deciding what is important and what is not important to them (Goulet, 1980, p. 2).
