Publisher's Synopsis
Culture, assumed as the tradition of meanings and senses present in the contexts of life, is not only a matter of determination of the personality by the environment, nor is it a matter of total and complete reflection and criticism of the individual on it. the relationship with others allows one to learn ways of taking in elements of the context and making them one's own, in the same way that one develops in such environments the capacity to carry out internal processes of evaluation of options and courses of action; This explains the fact that people living in similar environments form personalities and show divergent attitudes and emotions, but also that their actions take different courses when faced with similar situations. Learning culture implies constant preparation and readiness, seen as a necessity, to solve individual and collective life situations, which is why a concept of culture that recovers its symbolic and contextual character is taken into account here.
