Read the following text:
How we define culture is highly contested and open to debate (Eagleton, 2000). Brown provides a useful explanation which links culture with thinking and language:
“Cultural patterns, customs, and ways of life are expressed in language: culture specific world views are reflected in language (...) [L]anguage and culture interact so that world views among cultures differ, and that language used to express that world view may be relative and specific to that view”.
Coyle, Hood and Marsh. CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning, 2010. Adaptado)
The alternative which is closest to Brown’s understanding of culture is:
- “Culture is the shared knowledge and schemes created by a set of people for perceiving, interpreting, expressing, and responding to the social realities around them”.
- “Culture (...) is 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”.
- … culture is an abstraction or, more specifically, “an abstraction from behaviour.”
- When things are considered not in terms of their relation to the human organism but in their relationship to one another, they become culture by definition.
- … culture determines the way we interpret the world, and we use language to express this interpretation.

A alternativa resume a ideia de Brown de que a cultura não é apenas um conjunto de práticas, mas um filtro que molda nossa interpretação da realidade. Cultural patterns e costumes geram formas específicas de pensar que orientam como percebemos e avaliamos o mundo.
Além disso, a alternativa destaca o papel da linguagem como meio para tornar essa interpretação visível. Ou seja, usamos palavras, expressões e estruturas linguísticas para expressar a visão de mundo formada culturalmente. A relação é recíproca: cultura influencia pensamento e linguagem, e a linguagem revela e perpetua essa cultura.
Portanto, a frase escolhida capta com precisão a ideia central de Brown: cultura determina modos de ver o mundo, e a linguagem serve para comunicar essa visão.
