1. What is the main point and/or argument in the article? "Culture consists of the values (abstract ideals) the members of a given group hold, the norms (definite principles or rules people are expected to observe) they follow, and the material goods they create." -Introduction to Society Anthony Giddens and Mitchell Duneier. This is how culture is defined in our text. In my words culture is the transmission of behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, values, institutions, …

…a baby. And with that, it teaches the baby the pattern to follow and transmits their culture onto the next generation. Kluckholm says "Culture regulates our lives at every turn. From the moment we are born until we die there is, whether we are conscious of it or not...... that other men have created for us." Therefore proving that culture constructs the lives of men and women in any society, even in an anthropological perspective.
