Culture Is A System Of Meaningful Symbols: Analysis
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. Spradley's understanding of and subsequent definition for the concept of culture crosses all boundaries whereby people of a given community share their collective existence. The extent to which the presence of mores, norms and customs comprise the fundamental components of cultural construct is both grand and far-reaching; that Spradley (1979) has termed culture as a system of meaningful symbols speaks to a communal system of association that is "learned, revised, maintained, and defined in the context of people interacting" (Spradley, 1979). Applying this understanding to the two articles and one book illustrates just how vital cultural connection is to individuals and entire societies alike. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
