Culture means any human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through“tradition”or social learning. From this viewpoint, all human groups have culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel and do is learned through taking part in a social cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were“ghosts (鬼)”in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala (the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being. The head is a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close at is heels there came another creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of rww meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.

People in different lands behave (行为表现) differently. What is polite behaviour or 'good' manner in one country may not be polite in another.
Take greeting for example. Americans usually greet someone they know by saying Hi", "Hello" or "Good morning", etc. Chinese, on the other hand, usually greet each other by saying "How are you?" or sometimes "Have you eaten?" or "Where
are you going?"which would be considered impolite by Americans. In Italy or southern France, a man will greet a woman by kissing her on the back of her hand or on both cheeks. The Eskimos of northern North America, however, rub noses when they meet.But in China and some other parts of Asia kissing or touching on meeting someone is often frowned (皱眉头) upon.
To take one other example of national differences, belching (打嗝) during a meal in America is considered very rude behaviour while in parts of China, India and the Arab world, belching is a way of telling your host (主人) that you are enjoying your meal.
What principles (原则) of polite behaviour should we follow then? The best guide to our actions would be: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
