Man'S Social and Cultural Background

Man's social and cultural background is shaped by interactions with his environment and personal experiences over time. A key aspect is that culture refers to the complex set of knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, and habits that are acquired by people as members of a society. Studying culture, society, and politics is significant because culture allows people to adapt to their environment, establishes patterns of social behavior, conveys meanings through communication, enables the production of tools and technologies, and contributes to human satisfaction through activities like arts and leisure. Culture is not innate, but rather something that is learned.

ways and from which we can realize the significance of culture
as well:

himself to his environment by being creative and resourceful
in coming up with ways and means of survival.
2. Culture establishes patterns of acceptable social behavior
such as etiquette, protocols, good manners and right
conduct, roles and duties, etc. as established by folkways,
mores, and laws.
3. Culture conveys and facilatates meanings through verbal and
non-verbal communication, written and non written
language, forms of expression, and symbolisms.
4. Culture produces man-made things such as
clothing, tools, instruments, machines, equipment,
structures, etc. made possible by technological
know-how.
5. Culture contributes to overall human satisfaction
as we develop ways to make life more enjoyable,
more comportable, easier and more rewarding such
as recreational activities, leisure, entertainment
and arts, etc.
