Notions of culture Given the fact that Anthropology has usually been defined as the study of other cultures, it is not surprising to find ‘culture’ to be one of the most crucial concepts of the discipline. The focus of anthropology is upon the diversity of ways in which human being establish and live their social lives in groups, and it is from this diversity that the anthropological notion of culture, at least in the twentieth century is derived.

The Totalist perspective: The idea of totalitarianism is rooted in the idea that culture is singular. It means everywhere human beings possess more or less advanced version of the same heritage, an interpretation began in eighteenth-century European thought (Williams 1983a).
