Man's most human characteristic is not his ability to learn, which he shares with many other species, but his ability to teach and store what others have developed and taught him. Learning, which is based on human dependency, is relatively simple (1970:72).
Mead once proposed a contrast between "learning cultures" and "teaching cultures" (Mead 1942, as noted in Gearing 1973). A "learning culture" refers to a small, homogenous group that shows little concern for transmitting culture because there is virtually no danger of anyone going astray. "Teaching culture" refers to societies that regard it as imperative that those who know inform and direct those who do not know. Mead's view of the contrast between learning and teaching is apparent in her observation in Culture and Commitment that "Learning, which is based on human dependency, is relatively simple. But human capacities for creating elaborate teachable systems . . . are very complex" (1970:72).
