Culture can be said to refer to the lifestyle of an entire society. The term culture is used in anthropology to refer to a complex system of values, beliefs and codes of conduct that are socially acquired. Cultural differences are what distinguish one society from another. Culture is the product of the unique human capacity to classify and encode experiences and pass on this acquired knowledge to others. This process of sharing and passing on a system of beliefs and knowledge is enculturation. Rituals, institutions, language, physical objects, and art act as the medium for this transfer of knowledge and values. According to anthropologists, culture is something uniquely human, considering that its requirements are distinctly human.
Culture also refers to the finer arts, refined music, literature, and art, with someone well acquainted with the subjects being considered 'cultured'.
