Culture-centered definition
Culture-centered means an approach to communicating with the understanding that cultural meanings are co-constructed by individuals in their interactions with the structures and systems that surround their lives. The culture-centered approach to communication proposes that structure and agency are embedded within culture, which is an ever-changing system of values that influences attitudes, perception, and behaviors that enable and constrain social action. The culture-centered approach assumes that behaviors have no meaning until they are understood in the cultural context in which those behaviors have been learned and are displayed.
