The Functions of Culture. 1  Culture assists people in adapting to the conditions in which they live. 2  Functionalism assumes that there are certain minimum biological needs that must be satisfied if individuals and society are to survive, as well as social and psychological needs.
People within a culture usually interpret the meaning of symbols, artifacts, and behaviors in the same or in similar ways.. Culture: learned and shared human patterns or models for living; day-to-day living patterns. these patterns and models pervade all aspects of human social interaction.Culture is mankind's primary adaptive mechanism (p. 367).ost social scientists today view culture as consisting primarily of the symbolic, ideational, and intangible aspects of human societies. The essence of a culture is not its artifacts, tools, or other tangible cultural elements but how the members of the group interpret, use, and perceive them.
