Full Title or Meme

Culture is the uniquely human ability to abstract Knowledge to a form that can be used to accurately instruct others in a different time or place.

Context

Prior to the professorship of Franz Boas in 1896 Culture was singular and designated what has been called "The Western Canon", which preaches that cultural relativism is turning American students into unpatriotic nihilists. Since Boss's paper in 1911 and the work of his students like Margaret Mead it is clear that culture is learned and can be whatever we train our children to be.
