Cultural practices

THE PRACTICE

 There a complete space in the culture, where the lenguage has a physical complement, with actions, ways of life, this called practices, are in the everday acts, but there aren't chose, or learn, they are accepted and used by the people, as a normality.

 THE ACTIONS CHAINS.

 As the lenguage and the products, have been used and accepted by a group of people, the practices follown a style, they are develompment with actions, and even little steps in the society behavior, this aren't limited by the words and sounds as the lenguage as it, this have another kinds of lenguage, sometimes neither need words, or as the phrase, "Actions speak louder than words"
OPERATIONS.
 If we have a groups of actions, one apart the other, as wake up at a specific hour, take a specif suplies, and take a specific route, we can identify a operation, a cultural practice operation, this acts are modeling by the culture, that had made a space for application.
ACTS
 The verbal or no verbal actions, which are used in interaction with other people, all of them are imposed and accepted as normal, actually they aren't teached or learned, with resistance, there could be, but social lenguage made it acceptable. is an acceptable imposition.

SCENARIOS

 In chapter 5, we had learn about the institutions as a cultural product, in some way, this fact can be responsable or most specifically, is one part of the actions chains by scenarios. Because the physical space, his nature, structure, can be involved in the culture of a group, or there are part of their actions, the practices can be studies in:
-Time based scenarios:  places programed to work, in a specific time and a specif activitie, this could be with a time schedule or with the weather.
-group-based scenario; Isn't a obvious exemple as a classroom, the used and work for this scenario, depends of the use of a group of people, those whoes give the variables, and program their needs, even a identity in the scenario.
-Institution base scenarios; Is a big scenario, in a lot of cases, is a social kind scenario, because  there is a organized system, to use this scenario as a social tool.
-Life-cycle-based scenarios; A specific place for a specif time, is a social accepted enviroment, for some kinds of persons in a cycle, previously determinated, and with a determinated time and expectations.
