Abstract
Culture has been defined as an integrated pattern of human behaviors including thoughts, communication, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of a racial, ethnic, religious, or social nature (Pumariega et al. 2013). Hughes (1993) further defined culture as a socially transmitted system of ideas that (1) shapes behavior, (2) categorizes perceptions, (3) names selected aspects of experience, (4) is widely shared by members of a particular society or social group, (5) is an orientating framework to coordinate and sanction behavior, and (6) conveys values across the generations. Most societies define normality and deviance in human behavior within the context of culture, including the acceptable range of affective expressiveness, idioms and threshold of distress, and expressed beliefs and actions.
