Half-filled Glass’ View of Culture

It is the ideation adopted by individuals within the group relative to the environment including the management of their social relations. Continuing the analogy, half-full or half-empty then become the defining characteristics of the ‘culture’. The problem then is if people developing within the culture are inculcated with the ideas derived from it when those ideas are no longer the best ideas in relation to managing a changing environment with the culture locking people in to doing things no longer to the best survival advantage. 

All subsequent discussion over culture is trivial and only of significance in relation to the accurate scientific understanding of it. The important factors are not ‘culture’ but the content of culture, namely the ideas adopted and applied by people in pursuit of their lives.
