Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term 
broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to 
cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of 
culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and 
music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to 
education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and 
sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural 
(cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and 
values. 
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, 
between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between 
national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the 
latter is a word derived not, like culture or a...s not everything gets better or more civilized. 
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There 
is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The 
only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or 
strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since 
in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-
culture, the range of reference is extremely wide.
