Document Summary
Individuals are all diferent with personaliies and values it is not systemaic enough so we can"t make meaningful predicions based of of this. If we meaningfully group people into diferent clusters, we can see that there are similariies that are shared, no mater whether or not we can see these. When sharing an umbrella, you might rely on others and have an interdependence which is similar to the deiniion of culture . Culture is a shared meaning system that carries symbolic representaions such as norms, values, symbols, and behavioural scripts that are shared by individuals within a given ecology. : funcions: Culture ofers the way people understand their world and make sense of it. Can have muliple layers eg. naional culture, organizaional culture. Individual values can be measured collecively and be inferred as culture (i. e. , clustering method) We want to know how this class difers from the class last term we would compare the academic performance and average the scores.
