Thông tin:
- While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural patter, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century.
- Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city.
- At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values.
Tạm dịch:
- Trong khi nền văn minh và sự man rợ đang đối chọi với nhau theo kiểu dường như là một khuôn mẫu hành vi vĩnh cửu, thì việc sử dụng từ văn hóa đã bị ảnh hưởng mạnh mẽ bởi 6 quan niệm về sự tiến hóa trong thế kỷ 19 và sự phát triển trong thế kỷ 20.
- Do đó, đã có sự phân biệt giữa các nền văn hóa nguyên thủy, và các nền văn hóa tiên tiến, giữa nền văn hóa ưu tú và phổ biến, giữa văn hóa phổ biến và văn hóa đại chúng.
- Ít nhất là từ thế kỷ 19 trở đi, dưới ảnh hưởng của các nhà nhân chủng học và các nhà xã hội học, từ văn hóa đã được sử dụng chung ở cả số ít và số nhiều (các nền văn hóa) để chỉ toàn bộ cách sống của con người, bao gồm cả phong tục, luật, quy ước và giá trị của họ.
