Culture

      What are the characteristics of culture?

The characteristics of culture are the following:
Culture is shared, social, transmitted through learning, dependent upon language, cumulative, gratifying to participate in, dynamic and variable between different societies. All human societies have their own cultures


   How is culture transmitted?

 Schein (1985) has argued that culture is transmitted in two different ways, either through 'problem solving' / 'positive reinforcement' or 'anxiety avoidance' / 'trauma'. The former refers to a policy of repeating successful work strategies, the latter to a policy of avoiding unpleasant situations by basing thought and action on previous negative experiences.
