First write down the task number (28, 29, etc.), and then a detailed answer to it. Write your answers clearly and legibly.
Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.
Culture forms the personalities of the members of society, thereby it largely regulates their behavior. Clifford Girtz calls culture "a system of regulatory mechanisms, including plans, recipes, rules, instructions ... that serve to guide behavior." He believes that without culture, people would be completely disoriented: “Human behavior not conditioned by cultural models (systems of meaningful symbols) would become practically uncontrollable, it would be reduced to spontaneous senseless actions and unrestrained emotions, a person could practically not form an experience.”
How important culture is for the functioning of the individual and society can be judged by the behavior of people who are not covered by socialization. The uncontrolled, or infantile, behavior of the so-called children of the jungle, who were completely deprived of human contact, indicates that without socialization, people are not able to adopt an orderly way of life, master the language and learn how to earn a livelihood ...
If culture regulates people's behavior, can we go so far as to call it repressive? This is exactly what Sigmund Freud believed. He explored the conflict between culture (or "civilization") and the instinctive beginning of human nature. Often the culture does suppress a person's urges, mainly sexual and aggressive ones. But she doesn't rule them out completely. Rather, it determines the conditions under which they are satisfied...
But, given the importance of the influence of culture on human behavior, we should not at the same time exaggerate its possibilities. The ability of culture to control human behavior is limited for many reasons. First of all, the biological possibilities of the human body are not unlimited. Mere mortals cannot be taught to jump over tall buildings, even if society values such feats highly. In the same way, there is a limit to the knowledge that the human brain can absorb...
Environmental factors also limit the impact of the culture. For example, drought or volcanic eruptions can disrupt the established way of farming. Environmental factors may prevent the formation of some cultural patterns. According to the customs of people living in tropical jungles with a humid climate, it is not customary to cultivate certain plots of land for a long time, since high crop yields cannot be obtained on them for a long time.
