Why Is Culture Important
- Culture is crucial because it reflects society or nation. It means that culture has a significant
impact on how society adapts, interacts, and develops on a personal and societal level. It
describes who you are, your families, and the reasons behind your shared beliefs, emotions,
and behaviors. It also connects us all to specific historical locations and occasions. It's all
interesting and demonstrates the aspects and diversity that make humans so dynamic and
creative, as well as how we all do things differently and similarly. Without culture, we
degenerate into machines. Nobody benefits from the sublimation of who we are, how we
frame and understand things, and how we express and respond to truth.
- Material culture involves all material things to which people give meaning. In other words,
material culture is visible and tangible. Tools, furniture, buildings, bridges, and other items
fall into this category. It is changing faster. Non-material culture, on the other hand, is made
up of intangible and abstract elements like traditions, beliefs, values, and language. Non-
material culture is internal and does not have a physical existence. Non-material culture
changes very gradually. The two components of non-material culture are cognitive and
normative. While normative aspects are made up of norms, rules, and values, cognitive
aspects deal with knowledge.
Interview any one of the different classes of people e.g. rich, poor, etc. Inquire about their way of life.
Submit a report about interviews.
- The person I interviewed is from the middle class. She is a teacher who works long hours to
support herself and her family. Despite working full time, she manages to stay positive in
her life. She makes enough money and balances her time between work, personal, and
recreational activities.
- She believed that since some people are too busy to truly enjoy every moment of life,
happiness can only be found in knowing who you are, where you're going, and what you're
meant to be doing. Nobody or anything will ever be able to pull you away from a feeling of
inner contentment once you are certain of these three things. Life will always have its ups
and downs, but you won't stay off-balance for very long. When you reach this point, you will
understand the importance of happiness and its place in your life.
