• Culture, then, is a study of perfection, and perfection which insists on becoming something rather than in having something, in an inward condition of the mind and spirit, not in an outward set of circumstances.

Matthew Arnold

• As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.

Stephen Bayley

• What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.

Jean Dubuffet

• He only is a well-made man who has a good determination. And the end of culture is not to destroy this, God forbid! but to train a way all impediment and mixture and leave nothing but pure power.

• A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

• Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver.

Hermann Goering

• We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.

Friedrich Nietzsche

• It is generally admitted that the cultural values (humanization) and the existing institutions and policies of society are rarely, if ever, in harmony. This opinion has found expression in the distinction between culture and civilization, according to which "culture" refers to some higher dimension of human autonomy and fulfillment, while "civilization" designates the realm of necessity, of socially necessary work and behavior, where man is not really himself and in his own element but is subject to heteronomy, to external conditions and needs.

Herbert Marcuse

• Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It's become a notion of boredom that is b ought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.

Malcolm McLaren

Focus on theory.

Как уже говорилось в предыдущей главе, Культурный шок (culture shock) это неприятное состояние некоторой неопределенности, которое испытывают многие люди, попадая в незнакомую для себя обстановку. Они не уверены в том, какие здесь приняты нормы морали и поведения, а также не знают чего ожидать от окружающих их людей. Это естественная часть процесса оклиматизации к новому окружению.
