Countless cultural traits all blend together to form a cultural trait complex, and thus defines a group of people for who they are, and what they do. Aspects of Culture Mentifacts are the ideas, values and beliefs of a culture. Religion has shaped culture more than any other trait in the history of the world. The ancient Aztecs sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people for their religion. Sunday is considered a day of rest in most Christian cultures.
Language is also an important mentifact.
Languages adapt to suit a particular culture. Eskimos lives are dominated by living primarily in the snow and ice. Their language has over fifty words to describe different types of snow. We would be at a loss to describe all of the types of snow in the English language since snow isn't an important part of our culture. Sociofacts dictate our social behavior.
