In the book, Nation Building, author Kwame Agyei Akoto defines culture.

Culture is the sum-total of a people's evolving historical and contemporary experience, their values, beliefs and actions consisting of behavior patterns, symbols, and institutions unique to a people, that distinguishes them from another people. 

Quibinar 11

Culture is the vast structure of behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, habits, beliefs, customs, language, rituals, ceremonies and practices peculiar to a particular group of people which provides them with a general design for living and patterns for interpreting reality.

The system of culture teaches the people to recognize phenomena and to respect certain logical relations amongst phenomena.

Culture gives meaning to reality.
