ABSTRACT

Culture is an intricate concept with over 160 different definitions (Ferraro 2003; Schneider & Barsoux 1997; Kroeber & Kluckhohn 1952). One of the earliest and most widely cited definitions is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by a man as a member of society” (Tylor 1871, p. 1). Ferraro (2001) defines culture as “everything that people have, think, and do as a member of their society” (p. 19).
