1. Culture is a complex whole that includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs, and other capabilities acquired by people as members of society. Values and norms are the central components of a culture. Values are abstract ideals about what a society believes to be good, right, and desirable.

Norms are social rules and guidelines that prescribe appropriate behaviour in particular situations. They are influenced by political and economic philosophy, social structure, religion, language, and education.
