The meaning of context goes back to non-material environment including values, beliefs and custom and the most important feature is the sustainability that shapes to human behaviors. Indeed, the human sustainable behavior is due to having particular culture and differences of these behaviors are result of difference among cultures.

However, there is some similarities among noted schools such as Marxist and European origin, also, there are some differences including the type of view to culture, the study subject and approach in examining the social phenomena. Although, there are some similarities between them but from point of ontological, epistemological and methodological view, we can recognize that they have critical differences.
