Culture is a word we often use in daily life. Most people use the word culture only for educated people with professions. When we say cultured person, educated people first come to mind. In fact, culture is not just about going to school to get an education. Culture is examined from sociological and anthropological perspectives. Sociology examines not the origin of culture, but the effect of events, phenomena, and lived practices on the behavior of individuals and groups and their relationships with each other. Anthropology, on the other hand, tries to reveal the development and origin of culture.
