| | The Culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to the author, the Culture exists in parallel with human society on Earth, and does not represent an imagined future for the human race as we know it. | | | A Culture Orbital rotates about once every 24 hours and has 'gravity' about the same as Earth's, making the diameter of the ring about 4,000,000 km, and ensuring that the inhabitants experience 'night' and 'day' as we do. | | | Chapters describing his adventures for Special Circumstances are intercut with stories from his past, where the reader slowly discovers why this man is so troubled. |

| | Culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | "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 by man as a member of society" | | | In Science of Culture, published in 1949, he finally concluded that they are objects sui generis, "of their own kind". | | | Arnold consistently uses the word this way: "...culture being a pursuit of our total perfection by means of getting to know, on all the matters which most concern us, the best which has been thought and said in the world". |

| | Culture definition |
| | Human beings are passive creatures and do whatever their culture tells them to do. | | | This is why symbols represent the outermost layer of a culture. | | | A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. |
