Abstract

Hecht Louise*

Culture is a unique possession of man. It is one of the distinguishing traits of human society. Culture doesn't exist at the sub-human level. Only man is born and mentioned during a cultural environment. Other animals live in a natural environment. Every man is born into a society is that the same as saying that each man is born into a culture. The dictum ‘man could be a social being’ can thus be redefined as ‘man could be a cultural being’. Every man will be considered a representative of his culture. Culture is the unique quality of man which separates him from the lower animals.
