Introduction
Our behaviour is of a large extent cultural, but it is not culture, first I have to talk about culture. At first Ewdard Tyler used this word Culture and defined in his book Primitive Culture. "That complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and other capabilities acquired by man as a member of society." Culture consists of abstract patterns of and for living and dying, Such abstract patterns are Cultural to the extent that they are learned directly or indirectly in social interaction and to the extent that they are part of the common orientation of two or more people.

Culture is abstract in the sense that it is manifest in behaviour and in the result of behaviour but neither the behaviour itself nor the tangible results, since culture must be inferred from observation of uniformities in behaviour, it in to some extent an imperfect or approximate, construct of the observes, for example a language is a part of culture and a scientific description of a language must certainly be based on observation of the way in which people actually speak, 'A language is equally true of a norm, a value, a role, a belief, a technique or any other item of cultural behaviour, then, is to a large extent of cultural, but it is not culture.
