Talcott Parsons, a modern American Sociologist, stresses three attributes of culture: 'first, that culture is transmitted, it constitutes a heritage or a social tradition; secondly, that it is learned, it is not a manifestation, in particular content, of man's genetic constitution; and third, that it is shared'. (Parsons 1952, 15) One can see the relevance of such a concept for curriculum: the content of education is transmitted, learned and shared in this sense.
