Question

According to Clyde Kluckhohn, culture is defined as which of the following?
Options
A The biological instincts inherited from ancestors
B The historically created design for living that guides human behaviour
Correct Answer
C The religious beliefs passed down through generations
D The economic system of a particular society
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Kluckhohn specifically defines culture as 'the historically created design for living...which exists at any given time as a potential guide for the behaviour of man.' Options A, C, and D are too narrow as culture encompasses more than biology, religion alone, or economics.

Hint

Think about the phrase 'design for living' and its historical nature.
