Abstract: This article focuses on the anthropology which may be considered the most molar of the social sciences. Conceiving the largest possible units of society as areas of structural-functional study, anthropologists have developed theoretical tools and techniques for describing and analyzing cultural wholes. These theoretical techniques may have to be enlarged and refined as anthropologists probe to greater depth in the analysis of modern complex cultures. Notwithstanding, the fact remains that culture as culture is the province and specialty of the cultural anthropologists. When one speaks of anthropology and education, and particularly what the former might contribute to the professionalization and advancement of the latter, there is need for definition and structuralization. Culture was conceived to be that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Sociologist Leslie White, in an attempt to develop a more precise definition has suggested that culture is a class of things and events dependent upon symboling. White states that the locus of culture has existence in space and time, within human organisms that is concepts, beliefs, emotions, attitudes and within processes of social interaction among human beings.
