Abstract
The definition of culture is an important term to define in sociology, psychology, political sciences, anthropology, international business and cross cultural studies. It is quite difficult to find a terminology. The paper covers the definition of Culture, Cultural Challenges and Globalization and Culture. In 1952, the American anthropologists, Kroeber and Kluckhohn, critically reviewed concepts and definitions of culture, and compiled a list of 164 different definitions. Apte (1994:2001), written in the ten-volume Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, summarizes the problem as follows: ‘Despite a century of efforts to define culture adequately, there was in the early 1990s no agreement among anthropologists regarding its nature.’ The use of this paper is to facilitate future researchers the finding of the definition of culture.
