The partially integrated system of ideas, feelings, and values encoded in learned patterns of behavior, signs, products, rituals, beliefs and worldviews shared by a community of people. The anthropologist's label for the sum of the distinctive characteristics of a peoples way of life. The conceptual designs, the definitions by which people order their live, interpret their experiences and evaluate the behavior of others. Interaction between cultures is referred to cross-cultural, intercultural or multicultural.  Evaluating cultures - Cultural Relativism - 1. Evaluating a culture based on the context of said culture ( as opposed to evaluating based upon one's own culture {ethnocentrism) 2. The belief that no culture should be able to judge another by imposing its own standards on the culture.  A third understanding of Cultural Relativism is that unless the Bible speaks about a particular cultural expression it may not be wrong, it may simply be different.  Ethno - ethen (Greek) - nations  Ethnography - is the science of studying other cultures, every culture or group holds an unique Worldview. 
