Persons | Unique individuals that are shaped by their society, environment, and interactions with individuals on a Micro, Meso and Macro world. |
Society | Society is made up of people, groups, networks, institutions, organisations and systems. People belong to informal and formal groups, and within and between these groups there are patterns of interactions that contribute to unique cultures. |
Culture | Culture refers to the shared knowledge, attitudes and behaviours that give each society its unique structures and institutions. Culture is demonstrated by the beliefs, customs, values, norms, rules, laws, governance, arts, technologies and artefacts. Culture is dynamic and undergoes change, and is therefore not static. |
Environment | Every society is located in a particular physical setting and interacts with its environment. The attitudes and values that people have in regard to their environment greatly affect interactions between persons, society, culture and the environment. |
Time | Every person, society, culture and environment is located in a period of time and is changing with time. Time can be examined as past, present and future. Our perceptions of time are drawn from past events and these influence our ideas about the present. Time is studied in relation to continuity and change. |

Gender also refers to the cultural ideals, identities and stereotypes of masculinity and femininity. |
Identity | Identity refers to the sense of self and can be viewed from a personal, social and cultural level. Identity is formed over a period of time and is the result of interactions at the micro, meso and macro levels of society. |
