“Culture is one of the two or three most complicated words in the English language”1, writes Raymond Williams. It is certainly hard to define culture in any other languages too. There is as many definitions of the word as there are authors who wrote about it, many of them giving different definitions from one book to another. Dictionaries, general or specialised, also offer their own defitions of the word culture.
