| | Many theories of culture have been criticized for assuming, intentionally or otherwise, that all people in any one society experience their culture in the same way. | | | This is one reason that anthropologists tend to be skeptical of theorists who attempt to study their own culture. | | | Investigations have arisen from belief in many different theories of culture and have often given voice to new theoretical bases for approaching the elusive term. |
