What is Culture? Visible and invisible culture
Who is Edgar Schein and how does he view ‘culture’ ?
An interculturalist. According to him, culture consists of layers, like an onion.
The onion consists of 3 layers: (+ examples)
The outer layer: artefacts of culture (visible cultural differences)
o First things you notice when entering a new country / new company
o Easy to perceive / nice to know
Language, housing, food, clothes…
The second layer: norms and values
o Written and unwritten stands or correct, desired behaviour
o Takes some time to notice and learn them
What is right or wrong, what can we do and cannot do…
The deepest layer: basic, core assumptions (key beliefs)
o Abstract and invisible
o Unaware of their influence
o Our understandings about what is true

Definitions of culture
What is ‘culture’ according to Hofstede?
A collective programming of the human mind,
which distinguishes the members of one group or
category of people from another.
What is ‘culture’ according to Lustig and Koester?
A learnt set of shared interpretations about beliefs,
values, norms and social practices, which affect the
behaviours of a large group of people.
Cultural programming
Culture is a kind of programming according to
Geert Hofstede. We are programmed through (4):
Upbringing
o Ex.: no child would shake hands unless it was programmed to do so.
Socialization
o Ex.: What kind of handshake do we give? A limp or firm one?
Norms and values
o Ex.: value of showing respect for the elderly giving up your seat on the bus =
norm
Perception
o Ex.: by looking, we make conscious choices about how we want to behave.
