There are varies terms used in Sociology.

Culture- This term is derived form he German word Kultur which refers to someone who is well cultivated, schooled or behaved. Ezewu (1983:p66-67) defines it as the sum total of human creation which included what man has made in form of tools, weapons, shelter material goods, attitudes, beliefs, judgment, institutions, arts, science, philosophy and social organizations up to the present time. Culture can, therefore be viewed as constituting the way of life of an entire society: this includes codes of manners, dress, language, rituals, norms of behaviour and system of belief.
