a) Culture helps establish normative order in society. It sets customs and rules essential for the survival of a group. For example, one is not allowed to kill, steal or take someone else's property without permission.
b) Culture establishes certain rituals associated with the behaviour of its members. For example, kneeling while talking to elders among the Baganda.
c) Culture creates specific rites to portray key events in the communal life. There are specific celebrations associated with birth and death. Among the Gikuyu, one is able to know the sex of the child by the number of ululations sounded after birth. Coming of age is also celebrated differently among various communities.
d) Culture creates an identity among its members and enables them to communicate and interact in a way they all understand and identify with.
In general therefore, culture establishes standards by which its members operate.
