Alcohol poisoning: A condition in which a toxic amount of alcohol has been consumed, usually in a short period of time. The affected individual may become extremely disoriented, unresponsive, or unconscious, with shallow breathing. Because alcohol poisoning can be deadly, emergency treatment is necessary.
Culture (/ËkÊltÊÉr/) can be defined in numerous ways. In the words of anthropologist E.B. Tylor, it is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society..
1 A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. The core of a culture is formed by values. 2  They are broad tendencies for preferences of certain state of affairs to others (good-evil, right-wrong, natural-unnatural). 3  Many values remain unconscious to those who hold them. 4  Therefore they often cannot be discussed, nor they can be directly observed by others.
