How is culture defined?

• A. the traditions, customs and sports which contribute to the function of a society
• B. laws and governance
• C. the climate and geography
• D. economic activities

Answer: (A)

Culture is the shared patterns of behavior, beliefs and values learned within a group. It includes traditions, customs and sports that shape how a society functions. In PE this means sport participation, attitudes to fair play, teamwork, gender roles and the way communities celebrate or support athletic events are all influenced by cultural norms. The other factors listed—laws and governance, climate and geography, and economic activities—are important aspects of society, but they describe political, environmental or economic dimensions rather than culture itself.
