Culture in the easiest definition is the way of life but to my understanding, Culture is the process of human perfection or behavior to certain norms and values. Norms are the rules a group of people follow mostly in social norms and failure to follow this rule can lead to expulsion from this group. An example of social norm can be seen in this image.Values are the ideas or behavior that can be judged as either good or evil. For example in most countries, if an individual fights for her country it reflects the value of patriotism and this can be judged as good.
Raymond Williams also stated in page 52 that "We see most past work through our own experience without even making the effort to see it in something like its original term. Which is true to the fact that most people analyse history with their understanding and they don't bother to see it in the primary term even if it has a different meaning to what it meant.
