The different notions of the concept of culture imply certain prejudices that it
society possesses. In fact, the most common concept relates to a certain 'state
developed from the mind,” the execution of the so-called cultural activities and,
certainly, their products as a derivative of the cultural process. Specifically, these three
notions that are interconnected can be literally recognized in our
society, as massively accepted meanings by social convention.
Well then, the use of the concept of culture - because it refers to that which is capable of
building the man - has varied throughout history, according to the evolutionary processes of
the societies.
In Rome it meant 'cultivation of the land' and later 'cultivation of species'.

He spoke lightly of a 'cultured or uncultured' man.
New theoretical currents such as sociology and anthropology redefined the
term, like the total set of human acts in a given community,
independent of the type of practices. This new meaning of the concept of culture implies a
a conception that is much more respectful and avoids the discrimination of people and communities.
Finally, when studying culture as a social fact, it tends to be considered
the meanings and values that men of a society attribute to their
practices. In this sense, society and culture are two sides of the same coin.
collective production constitutes a universe of meanings that are in
constant change from generation to generation.
2. Explain in your own words:
a) What do you understand by the concept of socialization?

Socialization is the way in which society transmits, through its agents

to which it belongs and has created. It constitutes a legacy of socio-cultural maintenance.

It should be noted that these aspects allow the individual to accumulate and select.

that personal perspective that each individual has on life.
3. Explain in your own words:
a) Analyze all the elements that, in your opinion, are missing to explain the
cultural phenomenon as a context for production and interpretation of
meanings.
From a communicative and even philosophical point of view, it is possible to add as
element of analysis of the cultural phenomenon Semiology, a discipline that deals with
anything that can be considered as a sign.
In general terms, semiotics studies cultural processes and by
addition of the subsisting processes of communication and signification.
Undoubtedly, the context will serve as a guide in the face of these processes that
they belong to symbolic anthropology, given that the interpretation and production of
meanings will be subject to the particular lifestyle shared by the members
of a certain cultural society.
On the other hand, the socializing element of culture - social heritage - contributes to

production relations.
Now then, productive forces or labor forces are referred to as the means
of production or elements necessary to produce goods. In this context, they are vital

people possess their tools and with the product that results from it
that productive relationship.
In our capitalist society, the means of production are in the hands of a
social class, which by definition belongs to an economic cultural sphere.
Thus, for example, the lower class is associated with low or popular culture and the upper class with
its respective opposite.
In this way, by relating uncultured people to a low culture and vice versa
one of the most deep-seated and discriminatory social representations of all is exercised.
