Abstract

The word culture was derived from the Greek word colere, meaning "to cultivate." Since then several definitions have been developed. A U.N. document in 2002 stated culture as the "set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs" (Dictionary.com). Paul du Gay defined culture as "a description of a particular way of life which expresses certain meanings and values not only in art and learning but also in institutional and ordinary behavior" (12). Culture is what defines a person, explanation of how and why people do what they do. Culture affects every aspect of a person's life, including television. There are many aspects of society that can be considered part of culture, such as television. Over the years culture has been divided into three separate concepts: Globalization, McDonaldization, and the Circuit of Culture.
