Theories of culture

Here some theories that we saw at class of culture :)
Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)
-"Culture is the study of perfection"

Edward Tyler (1832-1917)
-"Culture is everything that envolves the society (art, moral, beliefs)".

Raymond Williams (1921-1988)
-"Every human society has its own culture"

Clifford Geertz (1926-2006)
-"Culture is what holds in the "webs" humans. It's a science in search of meaning".

Claude Levi-Strauss (1908-2009)
-"Culture is made up of rules and conducts, but we are not ment to obey them."

Renato Rosaldo (1941)
-"Culture significates to humans experience by selecting from and organazing it. It make sense to our lifes".

      This quotes are not extracts from books or studies. I resumed their ideas and kind of selected what was more important in my points of view.
      Personally I liked Edward Tyler's theory because society is the combination of cultures of different things that make a group special and unic.
