CONCEPT OF CULTURE
 In simple words culture is that part of human
environment which has been created by men in the
process of living together.
 E.B. Taylor says, “ Culture is that complex whole
which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law,
custom, and any other capabilities and habits
acquired by man as a member of society.”
Ogburn classifies cultural items into two categories:
1. Material aspects of culture such as tools, equipment,
arms etc.
2. Non-material aspects such as values, beliefs,
customs, norms and law etc
Characteristic of Culture
1. Men create it, it is not genetically transmitted.
2. Culture can be learnt through the processes of
socialization and education.
3. Culture is explicit and implicit design of living.
4. It sets standards of behavior carrying legitimacy.
5. It goes on advancing from simpler form to
complex form.
6. Culture shapes human behavior and molds
personality.
7. Material aspects of culture changes with a faster
pace than the non-material aspects.
Culture and Behaviour
 Cultural elements are so pervasive in human
society that no human behavior is free from its
influence. What we are, in terms of our acting,
thinking and feeling, we are product of our
culture.
 It regulates our behavior by prescribing standards
through the values and norms. Thus culture
i. prescribes certain patterns of behavior,
ii. Prohibits certain other patterns of behavior, and
iii. Sets standards of permissiveness or tolerance.
 Men gets potentialities through heredity, but
these potentialities in real sense grow only in
appropriate cultural milieu.
 Our biological needs are also regulated and served
through the prescriptions provided by the culture.
 Sheer biological explanation shall hardly serve any
purpose in understanding human behavior.
 Human behavior can be explained only with the
help of its cultural context.
 The culture has so profound influence on human
behavior that even societies and nations are
characterized by the culture(s), which they have
inherited from their predecessors
Cultural Meaning of Sickness
 In every society sickness is explained in the context of shared
understanding.
 In the primitive societies and even in modern complex
industrial societies disease, sickness and all other human
sufferings are ultimately tried to be understood in the context
of supernatural power and evil spirits, etc.
 Thus, in every society we find traditional healers including the
modern industrial and high tech societies.
 Culturally, a sick person is one who is unfit to carry out the
roles which are assigned as per the cultural values and social
norm.
 The recognition in this sense relieves him from normal
expectations by others as long as one is sick.
 Moreover, the person is looked after by the social support
system such as family, neighborhood, health care institutions,
community, and state, etc.
 As the fact of birth and death is explained in cultural
context, so is about the sickness in every society.
 With the advancement of science and technology the
concept of disease, sickness and measures of
treatment are also fast changing.
 The evolution of medicine and surgical treatment has
passed through the phases of growth of scientific
knowledge.
 Now, there is increasing awareness about empirical
causes of sickness rather than supernatural ones due
to change in cultural perception of sickness.
Culture and Health Disorders
 The WHO defines health as follows: “Health is a state of
complete physical, mental and social well being and not
merely an absence of disease or infirmity.”
1. The well being of a member of any society is also
culturally determined. Those members who are relegated
to lower rung of society often live under the conditions of
total subjugation and deprivation. Their health problems
are hardly given the attention that they deserve. As a
result thereof, the poorer people are forced to live amidst
sufferings and health disorders.
2. The belief in supernatural power and evil spirit work as
cultural impediment in motivating people to adopt
healthy practices and life-style. Such a situation
aggravates the problem of health disorders.
3. Cultural practices relating to maternity and childcare
often ignore the requirement of cleanliness, nutrition and
standards of health, etc. As a consequence of such practices,
the problem of infant mortality becomes acute due to higher
vulnerability of infants to the ailment such as diarrhea,
malnutrition, etc. The mothers are also subjected to several
such elements, especially among the socio-economically
poor classes.
4. Rapid social change leads to the problems of
maladjustment causing mental stress and cardiac ailments.
The societies that are highly-urbanized also suffer from
health disorders of these types.
5. Environmental pollution due to heavy
industrialization and technological advancements has
led to acute degradation of human conditions of a
decent living. This has given birth to several health
hazards that adversely affecting the community health
as well as the health of individuals. In a recent WHO
report it has been pointed out that due to the
environmental degradation during the last 20 years
more than 30 new diseases have surfaced.
6. Cultural stigma towards certain communicable
diseases such as leprosy, sexually transmitted diseases
such as AIDS and tuberculosis etc provides for
perpetuation of health disorders. This is true in the case
of mental illness as well. The fear of social rejection by
one’s own people often result into refusal to go for
proper treatment and care.
 The cultural environment works as factors
fostering health disorders under specific
circumstances. These can be made ineffective
only through effective education, community
awareness and adequate institutional
arrangements involving people’s participation and
health care programs.
Thank you…

  • 4. CONCEPT OF CULTURE  In simple words culture is that part of human environment which has been created by men in the process of living together.  E.B. Taylor says, “ Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.” Ogburn classifies cultural items into two categories: 1. Material aspects of culture such as tools, equipment, arms etc. 2. Non-material aspects such as values, beliefs, customs, norms and law etc
  • 5. Characteristic of Culture 1. Men create it, it is not genetically transmitted. 2. Culture can be learnt through the processes of socialization and education. 3. Culture is explicit and implicit design of living. 4. It sets standards of behavior carrying legitimacy. 5. It goes on advancing from simpler form to complex form. 6. Culture shapes human behavior and molds personality. 7. Material aspects of culture changes with a faster pace than the non-material aspects.
  • 6. Culture and Behaviour  Cultural elements are so pervasive in human society that no human behavior is free from its influence. What we are, in terms of our acting, thinking and feeling, we are product of our culture.  It regulates our behavior by prescribing standards through the values and norms. Thus culture i. prescribes certain patterns of behavior, ii. Prohibits certain other patterns of behavior, and iii. Sets standards of permissiveness or tolerance.
  • 7.  Men gets potentialities through heredity, but these potentialities in real sense grow only in appropriate cultural milieu.  Our biological needs are also regulated and served through the prescriptions provided by the culture.  Sheer biological explanation shall hardly serve any purpose in understanding human behavior.  Human behavior can be explained only with the help of its cultural context.  The culture has so profound influence on human behavior that even societies and nations are characterized by the culture(s), which they have inherited from their predecessors
  • 8. Cultural Meaning of Sickness  In every society sickness is explained in the context of shared understanding.  In the primitive societies and even in modern complex industrial societies disease, sickness and all other human sufferings are ultimately tried to be understood in the context of supernatural power and evil spirits, etc.  Thus, in every society we find traditional healers including the modern industrial and high tech societies.  Culturally, a sick person is one who is unfit to carry out the roles which are assigned as per the cultural values and social norm.  The recognition in this sense relieves him from normal expectations by others as long as one is sick.  Moreover, the person is looked after by the social support system such as family, neighborhood, health care institutions, community, and state, etc.
  • 9.  As the fact of birth and death is explained in cultural context, so is about the sickness in every society.  With the advancement of science and technology the concept of disease, sickness and measures of treatment are also fast changing.  The evolution of medicine and surgical treatment has passed through the phases of growth of scientific knowledge.  Now, there is increasing awareness about empirical causes of sickness rather than supernatural ones due to change in cultural perception of sickness.
  • 10. Culture and Health Disorders  The WHO defines health as follows: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity.” 1. The well being of a member of any society is also culturally determined. Those members who are relegated to lower rung of society often live under the conditions of total subjugation and deprivation. Their health problems are hardly given the attention that they deserve. As a result thereof, the poorer people are forced to live amidst sufferings and health disorders. 2. The belief in supernatural power and evil spirit work as cultural impediment in motivating people to adopt healthy practices and life-style. Such a situation aggravates the problem of health disorders.
  • 11. 3. Cultural practices relating to maternity and childcare often ignore the requirement of cleanliness, nutrition and standards of health, etc. As a consequence of such practices, the problem of infant mortality becomes acute due to higher vulnerability of infants to the ailment such as diarrhea, malnutrition, etc. The mothers are also subjected to several such elements, especially among the socio-economically poor classes. 4. Rapid social change leads to the problems of maladjustment causing mental stress and cardiac ailments. The societies that are highly-urbanized also suffer from health disorders of these types.
  • 12. 5. Environmental pollution due to heavy industrialization and technological advancements has led to acute degradation of human conditions of a decent living. This has given birth to several health hazards that adversely affecting the community health as well as the health of individuals. In a recent WHO report it has been pointed out that due to the environmental degradation during the last 20 years more than 30 new diseases have surfaced. 6. Cultural stigma towards certain communicable diseases such as leprosy, sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis etc provides for perpetuation of health disorders. This is true in the case of mental illness as well. The fear of social rejection by one’s own people often result into refusal to go for proper treatment and care.
  • 13.  The cultural environment works as factors fostering health disorders under specific circumstances. These can be made ineffective only through effective education, community awareness and adequate institutional arrangements involving people’s participation and health care programs.
