  Order of Culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Order of Culture (文化勲章, bunka kunshō) is a Japanese Order (decoration), established on February 11, 1937.
The order has one class only, and may be awarded to men and women for contributions to Japan's art, literature or culture; recipients of the order also receive an annuity for life.
The badge of the order, which is in gold with white enamel, is in the form of an mandarin orange blossom; the central disc bears three crescent-shaped jades (magatama).

 Teaching Culture
Traditionally, culture was understood in terms of formal or "high" culture (literature, art, music, and philosophy) and popular or "low" culture.
The pop culture is regarded as inferior and not worthy of study.
NCCC defines culture as an integrated pattern of human behavior that includes thoughts, communications, languages, practices, beliefs, values, customs, courtesies, rituals, manners of interacting and roles, relationships and expected behaviors of a racial, ethnic, religious or social group; and the ability to transmit the above to succeeding generations.

 Christianity and Culture
Culture is the integrated system of learned behavior patterns which are characteristic of the members of a society and which are not the result of biological inheritance.{1}
Christ of Culture The Christ of Culture view "accomodates the gospel to what the world values most dearly."{7} "Christ is identified with what men conceive to be their finest ideals, their noblest institutions, and their best philosophy."{8} The Gnostics, Abelard, Schleiermacher, Ritschl, liberationists, and process and feminist theologies are exponents.
The effort to bring Christ and culture, God's work and man's, the temporal and the eternal, law and grace, into one system of thought and practice tends, perhaps inevitably, to the absolutizing of what is relative, the reduction of the infinite to a finite form, and the materialization of the dynamic.{11}

The Culture Clash depicts dogs as they really are - stripped of their Hollywood fluff, with their loveable 'can I eat it, chew it, urinate on it, what's in it for me' philosophy.
Culture Clash is a good example of a classic that really needs to be recast, re-edited in some aggressive ways.
Donaldson while reading Culture Clash is that she has been nursing some long-standing personal grudges against specific people in her professional field and that she wrote this book as much to ridicule them and settle old scores as to impart useful information to dog-owners.

 The Canon And The Four Generations By William S. Lind
Decision-making was centralized and hierarchical; orders were detailed and controlling, to permit synchronization of all arms; time was not particularly important; and success was measured by comparative body counts.
This in turn created a military culture that was focused outward, on the enemy, the situation and the result the situation demanded instead of inward on rules, orders and processes.
Culturally, not only was the German Army outward-focused, it prized initiative over obedience and it depended on self-discipline rather than imposed discipline.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Order Of Saint Benedict
At Vicovaro he had failed to change a long-established order, which he knew to be a violation of the true monastic ideal.
Although Theodoric had brought order from the anarchical conditions which had for so long prevailed, yet when Benedict founded Monte Cassino there remained from the long racial upheavals a great restlessness and shifting of population — and neglected stretches of land laid waste by the trampling of armies.
It was not his intent to found an Order — at least as Orders were later to develop — for he made each monastery an autonomous unit, and left each abbot a wide latitude in adapting the Rule to suit immediate circumstances.

 The Culture FAQ
It would be very hard for a member of the Culture to kill someone else (it would be considered very strange to even want to) but if you did do this you would be slap-droned, which is having a drone follow you around forever, making sure you didn't do it again.
The Culture is largely 'run' by its Minds and most of these are themselves 'ships' - space faring vehicles of many different types (see the next question for a list of Culture ship types and the one after that for ship names).
They never hear of the Culture itself, but the standard components of a Culture novel - an attempt by the Culture to influence another civilization, with a Culture agent as one of the main characters - are there.

Bacchus and Civic Order by B. Ann Tlusty
In Bacchus and Civic Order: The Culture of Drink in Early Modern Germany, Ann Tlusty examines the social and cultural functions served by drinking and tavern life in Germany between 1500 and 1700, and challenges existing theories about urban identity, sociability, and power.

 EDGE 3rd Culture: BIRTH ORDER AND THE NURTURE MISASSUMPTION: A REPLY TO JUDITH HARRIS - by Frank Sulloway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
However, I also believe that Harris has pushed her thesis much too far, and that her rather extreme stand on this subject has led her to deny solid evidence in favor of within-family influences.
Based on 26 years of research involving 6,566 participants in 121 radical revolutions and reform movements, I demonstrated that birth order and other aspects of family niches are systematically related to personality for a variety of different traits.
Furthermore, these behavioral findings hold when the data are controlled for sibship size, social class, and various other background influences that have tended to confound the results of previous studies on this subject.

In The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins asserts that the larger organism exists in order to propagate the genes and not the other way around as we, the organism, had always assumed.
In the same way, corporations have traditionally thought of themselves as the most important entities in the economic ecosystem, but it might be more healthy for society in general to think of them as the organisms that ultimately benefit the humans that comprise them (humans = the genes in the corporation organism).
