1 Is there a link between 'culture' and 'cultured' behaviour? Can 'culture' save the world? Witold Ostafiński PhD

2 Culture – various meanings Taste for quality in the humanities and fine arts. Integrated pattern of behaviours, beliefs, and knowledge, which depend on the capacity for social learning and symbolic thought Any human behaviours, which are not the result exclusively of genetics. The way in which different societies represented and classified their experiences.

3 Biological anthropology Behaviours and the cultures interact. Both factors influence each other. Culture is a major factor in the behaviour of individuals.

4 Cultural Anthropology Culture is natural to humans. People who live in different circumstances or areas of the world will have different societies due to varying socialization and enculturation practices. Culture can be used as a method for people to change their behaviour in ways, which oppose their genetics in order to adapt to the environment

5 Cultural Psychology Social practices and cultural traditions regulate the behaviors and minds of those who are members of the society. Tradition and culture shape the psyche of individuals in the society and the meaning this may have for the unity of humanity as a whole. Culture leads to behaviors.

6 Cross-Cultural Psychiatry Mental illnesses are displayed in different cultures. Certain societies have cultures, which make it more likely that individuals will suffer from particular mental disorders.

7 Sociolinguistics Cultural norms can affect the way language is used in a particular group of people. Speech can be considered as a behavior in this context and is used by individuals to help them bond with other people in a given culture.

8 Psychological anthropology There is an interaction between the culture and mental processes. These culturally altered mental processes then lead to certain behaviors.

9 Culture – will it save the world? Culture is a site and an instrument for fulfilling humanity. It shapes social mentality (also, unfortunately, in building and perpetuating false attitudes). Culture can contribute to human development, but may as well block its development.

10 The concept of integral culture Integral culture - understood as the whole on the basis of spiritual and material complexity. Human being integral with his body and soul is the creator of culture and at the same time its addressee. Integral culture is open to transcendence.
