Culture as it is a continuous process. It passes from generation to generation. Future generation makes its own culture by learning the knowledge in the form of representation from past and present times. They evaluate what is being presented to them and adapt accordingly as per their needs.

Culture is not uniform it is ever changing and varies from society to society. It occurs differently in various societies. Each and every culture is unique in its own way and one cannot count on the uniformity of culture of different social groups.

Culture indicates progress in lifestyle, music, literature, art, science, and technology of any given human society. Culture makes human society unique and meaningful. The word ‘Culture’ is used in a specific sense in Sociology and Anthropology.

Culture is experienced within the society. It is the social bond of people together in a society through which culture gets reflected. Both are dependant on each other existence. Culture cannot exist in vacuum and hence society is the platform for representation of culture.
