Berne's concept of culture is supported by combined anthropological views on culture. Etiquette, Technicality and Character form the basis of TA Cultural Analysis, and correspond to the Parent, Adult and Child components of the individual person. The internalization of the “personality of a culture” is described in structural terms: it forms the Cultural Parent of the individual person, and is diagrammed as three ellipses within the Parent ego state. The Cultural Parent provides a strategy for individual change within a socially unjust environment and a tool for social transformation of groups.
