Edward Burnett Tylor
1832-1917
Culture or civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired my man as a member of society. E. B. Tylor 1871
`The sum total of knowledge, attitudes and habitual behaviour patterns shared and transmitted by the members of a particular society' Ralph Linton (1940).
The pattern of life within a community, the regularly recurring activities and material and social arrangements characteristic of a particular group'. Ward Goodenough (1957):
“Culture is the framework of beliefs, expressive symbols, and values in terms of which individuals define their feelings and make their judgements” (Geertz 1957 American Anthropologist 59:32-54).
Geertz 1973: `an historically transmitted pattern of meaning embodied in symbols, a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic form by means which men communicate' (1973: 89).

What is Canadian Culture?
I A M C A N A D I A N !!! I am not a lumberjack or a fur trader,And I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dogsled,And I don't know Jimmy, Sally, or Susie from Canada,Although I am certain they are really, really nice.I have a Prime Minister, not a President.I speak English and French, not American.And I pronounce it "about" ... not "a-boot".I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.I believe in peacekeeping not policing;Diversity not assimilation;And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal!A tuque is hat; a chesterfield is a couch.And it is pronounced ZED not ZEE, ZED!Canada is the second largest landmass,The first nation of hockey,And the best part of North America!
