After reading the part entitled "Defining culture: Fieldwork and Ethnography," I got a better idea of what culture really is because like the entry said, some people think its more high class than what it really means. To some people, culture has a different meaning than others. You must be involved with a club or group, also known as a culture, to really know what it is about. I like the quote from this section stating, " Culture is local and manmade and hugely variable. It tends also to be integrated. A culture, like an individual, is a more or less consistent pattern or thought and action" (Benedict 46). I think this quote clearly states what culture means without going into too much depth. Each and every person has his or own culture he or she belongs to. I think everyone is different in their own ways because they are part of different cultures. These cultures can be anything from teams, groups, clubs, etc. To me, this is what I think makes everyone unique.
