Shared

Learned

Integrated

Culture has four recognizable elements: learned, symbolic, shared, and integrated. A person learns the different values and beliefs of the culture and transmits them to the next generation. Culture is based on different symbols, such as language, dress, flags, and religion. The people in a cultural group share the same set of ideals, beliefs, and values. Cultures are integrated, patterned systems working together to keep the culture strong. Culture is not biological; it is learned.
