Culture is often seen as the ‘3Cs’: costumes, celebrations, and cuisine. However, there are two problems with this limited view of culture. The first problem is that this limited view of culture doesn’t include visible culture compared with the iceberg metaphor for culture that is divided into visible and invisible culture. This limited view is not invisible but visible culture. Therefore, it is not representative of culture. For example, the representative one of culture, value is not included in this limited view. The second problem is that this limited view may not be cultural compared with levels of behavior concept that includes universal, cultural, and personal. In short, it can be universal or personal. For example, skinny jeans, one of costumes, are worn based on individual tastes, so it can be personal. Therefore, this limited view of culture is unrepresentative of culture compared with the iceberg metaphor and levels of behavior concept.

  • Culture is often seen as the ‘3Cs’: costumes, celebrations, and cuisine.
  • Culture is often seen as the ‘3Cs’: costume, celebration and cuisine. (you should be consistent with your plurals - either none or all is the grammatically correct option. However, if it says otherwise in a research journal or textbook though, then you may have to change...)

 

  • The first problem is that this limited view of culture doesn’t include visible culture compared with the iceberg metaphor for culture that is divided into visible and invisible culture.
  • The first problem is that this view of culture disregards the differences between visible and invisible culture (such as values), as detailed by the iceberg metaphor, and therefore is not representative of culture on a whole.

 

  • This limited view is not invisible but visible culture.
  • This limited view is not invisible but visible culture.

 

  • Therefore, it is not representative of culture.
  • Therefore, it is not representative of culture.

 

  • For example, the representative one of culture, value is not included in this limited view.
  • For example, the representative one of culture, value is not included in this limited view.

 

  • The second problem is that this limited view may not be cultural compared with levels of behavior concept that includes universal, cultural, and personal.
  • The second problem (or "Another issue") is that this view may not be strictly describing culture, because as the concept of levels of behavior describes, this view may describe universal and personal behaviour as well as culture.

 

  • In short, it can be universal or personal.
  • In short, it can be universal or personal.

 

  • For example, skinny jeans, one of costumes, are worn based on individual tastes, so it can be personal.
  • For example, skinny jeans, a costume, are worn based on individual taste, so thus this view could be describing personal rather than cultural behavior (I think you should also give a celebration and cuisine example...perhaps like a wedding anniversary and fried Mars bar or something?)

 

  • Therefore, this limited view of culture is unrepresentative of culture compared with the iceberg metaphor and levels of behavior concept.
  • Therefore, this view has been shown by the iceberg metaphor and the concept of levels of behavior to be unrepresentative of culture.("this limited view is not representative" - you'd be repeating yourself since "limited" and "not representative" carry much the same meaning here)
