Culture: its concept, components, characteristics and functions in society

Abstract

In this article, I attempted to illustrate the concept of "culture" as a central concept in anthropological studies in general and in the field of cultural anthropology in particular. It also emphasized the points of convergence between the concepts of "culture" and "civilization" from two viewpoints (German on the one hand and Anglo-saxon in the Second), I also explained many concepts that are closely related to the concept of culture, as well as the characteristics and functions of culture in society. This study is theoretical rather than field-based, and I think that briefing all these concepts and details is necessary for all researchers working on issues of culture, society and personality
