What will be an ideal response?


Feedback: Culture, which is the knowledge that members of a society or other social organizations share, constrains behavior and how people think about and interpret their world. Culture emerges as a result of continued social interaction. Culture is learned behavior. The process of learning the culture is called socialization. Through the socialization process, individuals internalize the culture. Thus, the control that culture has over individuals is seen as natural.
