“Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one human group from another.”

Geert Hofstede

“Culture is the set of shared assumptions, values and beliefs of a group of people by which they organize their common life.”

Gary Wederspahn

“Culture is an integrated system of learned behavior patterns that are characteristic of the members of any given society. Culture refers to the total way of life for a particular group of people. It includes everything that a group of people thinks, says, does and makes its customs, language, material artifacts and shared systems of attitudes and feelings.

Culture is learned and transmitted from generation to generation.”

Robert Kohls

“Culture hides more than what it reveals and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.”

Edward T. Hall

“Culture refers to whatever an identifiable group of people share in order to meet its basic human needs and provides its sense of identity.”
