Get the Thanks for improving our services! We're adding this word to our databases now. This may take around 20 seconds...mug. Take Culture: (noun) 1. A socio-economic mentality prevalent in some lower-income communities, characterized by the exploitation and appropriation of resources through manipulation, intimidation, and disregard for laws or social norms. This behaviour is often learned and perpetuated within families and social circles, creating a sense of normalized deviance. 2. A subculture driven by the cynical belief that societal systems are rigged against them, leading to a distrust of authority and a justification for prioritizing resource acquisition at the expense of others. This can manifest in acts like shoplifting, welfare fraud, and even violent crime. 3. A significant contributor to societal tension and distrust, particularly between lower-income and higher-income groups. The perception of "takers" exploiting "makers" fuels resentment and fuels social division.
Key characteristics:
- While not exclusive, "take culture" is often concentrated in communities with limited opportunities and resources, creating a cycle of deprivation and justifying harmful behaviour.
- Children raised in environments where "taking" is normalised are more likely to adopt these behaviours, perpetuating the cycle.
- Individuals within "take culture" often view welfare and legal frameworks as exploitative, further legitimising their actions in their own minds.
- Beyond direct acts of "taking," this mentality can erode social cohesion, hamper economic growth, and create a climate of fear and distrust.

"The rise of 'take culture' in the neighbourhood meant shoplifting and petty theft became almost routine, leaving shopkeepers feeling helpless and the community on edge."
"Growing up in a gang-infested area, Miguel saw 'take culture' everywhere: bullying, graffiti, and theft viewed as normal ways to get ahead. Breaking free from that mindset was his biggest challenge."

sorry, I gotta go take a fantastic means that you are troubled or bored or whatever and that consequently you want to leave. perhaps to think perhaps just to be alone without present company. an announcement of leave-taking without explanations.
