Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The key element of culture is that it is learned.Culture encompasses many elements,including language,practices,habits,beliefs,rituals,and customs,all of which are socially inherited.
Cultures are historically defined by time period.For instance,the ancient Mayan people are considered a culture that existed in a specified period of time.But this definition is not relevant to a nurse practicing today.
Culture can include members who have different racial backgrounds.
There is a transgenerational element to culture,but diverse groups would not share their beliefs.Each group would have its own unique beliefs.
