9. Conclusion

The concept of culture was first discussed by early anthropologists as a human-specific construct that is generated along with human behaviours and provides interpretations for them (Geertz in The Interpretation of Cultures. Basic Books, New York, 1973; Jenks in Culture. Routledge, London, 2005). Sociologists moved forward to suggest that everything in a society that is learned through social life and shared by members of the society should fall into the scope of culture (Chalfant and LaBeff in Understanding people and Social Life: Introduction to sociology. West Pub. Co, St. Paul, 1988). Although culture is not a concept that could be seen as some concrete codes of conduct, nobody could deny that all the members in a society live under the influence of a powerful intangible cultural web.
