Importance of culture in our urban lives:

Introduction:
Culture is the characteristic of group of people defined by everything
such as language, religion, lifestyle etc. Different people in different
societies have different culture but they also have some similarities.
The culture varies in different things such as clothes, foods, religion
and many others.

Culture is the identity of a group of people living in specific place;

they have their own sketch of life what the culture says they follow
that. We have seen that a lot of people do some specific thing they
first thought about their culture, what my culture says on this
occasion. Especially on the occasion of wedding, and some other
celebrating days they follow strictly their culture. Those who do not
follow their culture or do some changes in that, they haven’t give any
values to them because they are not following their religion.

Different people define culture in different ways, for example

“Culture: learned and shared human patterns or models for living;
day- to-day living patterns, these patterns and models pervade all
aspects of human social interaction. Culture is mankind’s primary
adaptive mechanism”1. Another author says that “Culture is the
collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the
members of one category of people from another.”2. from these
definitions it is clear that both explains the same idea but in different
words, says that culture is first learned after learning it is then shared
so it’s a common fact that the younger first learn the culture from
their elders and when these young become elders they transfer it to
the next generation. But the culture learned it includes all the
aspects of human interaction and thus it become the mankind’s
adoptive mechanism. In the second definition the author says that
the culture is the programming of mind so it includes everything
related with the mind programming and because of these different
minds programming different group of people distinguish from each
others.

Characteristics:
Culture has its own characteristics; we will discuss some of its
characteristics here.

Learnt Shared Social Continuous Adaptive Varies Learnt:

As we discussed earlier that culture are learnt from their elders,
culture is not the thing you study for it and you know it but it is just
the process you pass from it, after that you will know about the
culture. It is just like the thing that inherited in someone nature. All
action the action we do like eating, dressing wearing ornaments etc
is the result of culture we learned. One author says about learning
culture “Babies and children learn about their culture by watching
their parents and close family. They copy behavior they have seen
and adopt different roles”3 and that’s fact that babies and children
learned culture by watching their parents and close family and then
they apply these different roles in their Daily life and thus adapt their
culture.
Shared:
Culture is something that is shared among groups of people. It is not
the thing that someone posses it individually. Culture is always
transferred through sharing so it mean that for transferring the
culture the sharing is must. The sharing of culture refers to the term
called enculturation according to author “Process of learning culture
is called enculturation”4. Culture is shared in many ways; the main
way for transferring the culture is the language. Language is the form
of social communication and the knowledge is transferred through
group discussion, public speaking and informal communication. The
second way is the use of communication technologies nowadays like
TV, DVD, internet etc play also important role in sharing the culture.
These modern technologies have exposed every culture to the whole
world.

Social:
Culture is social it is not the individual phenomena. it is the product
of society and originates and grows through social interaction.
Something is differentiable to us through comparison, so for
distinguishes culture we have to compare it with some other then we
will know about all aspects of that culture therefore the culture must
be social and without it there is no concept of culture. One author
says that “culture can be thought of as the normative order,
operating through operational and social influence, that guide and
constrains the behavior of people in collectives”5 .so from above
statement it is clear that culture is the overall thought in a normative
order, and these thoughts are pass through several operational and
social influences, it means that their also occur some changes in
culture but these changes are collectively and thus people of that
culture adopt their behavior to the culture.
Continuous:
Culture is the continuous process, Culture is growing whole which
includes in itself, the achievements of the past and present and
makes provision for the future achievements of mankind. Culture is
the result of past and present changes that occur in it, and thus it
absorb that changes in itself and the culture become the result of
past and present experiences and the process continue to next
generation and so on. “Hence some sociologists like Lotion called
culture the social heritage of man”6.

Adaptive:
Culture is always adaptive, even changes occur in culture but is very
slow process and generally it is adaptive to all the people associated
with that culture. when their occur some changes in the culture then
at the same time people become use to with it and thus they feel
nothing about their culture even people of other cultures will says
anything about that culture but the people of that culture they are
adapt with it. One author says about it that “The biological
modifications and adjustments are always flexible to adapt even in
the harsh conditions of the environment”7.it means that the changes
occur in the culture is flexible, easy for everyone to follow.

Varies:
Culture always varies. All the elements of culture like dressing, ways
of eating, speaking etc varies from society to society. In every culture
there always changes occur in some interval of time, almost the
changes speed is very slow but we never say that culture is not
variable.
Types of culture:
There are several types of culture:

Material culture Dressing Food Buildings Non-material culture

Language Family Religion Education Material culture:

Material culture includes all those things that people creates and
gives meaning to it. Material culture include lot of things, some of
them are given below:

Dressing:
Dressing is the important thing in culture. It identify the cultural
society, for example when a stranger from other country come to
Pakistan and he know little about here culture dressing so he will
definitely identify the place. They did not appreciate those who are
not wearing their own cultural dress.

Gradually the dressing importance is also disappearing from the

people.
According to my survey I have done some days ago a lot of people
say that we are not giving so much importance to our culture.
Nowadays the culture is changing so much fast because of this
reason that the people not giving so much importance to their
culture, especially dress.
Food:
According to the Colombia university press “everything having to do
with food—its capture, cultivation, preparation, and
consumption—represents a cultural act”8 so definitely food
when reach to us first it pass from different stages like its cultivation,
every culture has its own process of cultivation, capturing and
preparation. This mean that food is also one of the important part of
the material culture.

Buildings:
Building means construction. Building also plays important role in
culture identity. Different cultures have different type of buildings.
Some cultures have big houses while some have small. Usually the
cultural people from rural areas have big houses while those living in
the city have small houses. The reason may be in rural areas the
population is so much low and the place available for the house is
very cheap as compare to the city.

Non-material culture:
Non-material culture consists of thoughts and behavior that people
learn as part of the culture they live in. It includes language, rules,
customs, family, religion or beliefs, values, and knowledge. We will
discuss some of them;

Language:
Language is one of the most important forms of material culture,
without language there is no concept of culture. Different cultures
have different speaking of language. Even when the language is same
between the two cultures but still there will be difference in speaking
and one will easily difference between them. Sometime because of
cultures a large number of cultures are treated as one culture, for
example in Pakistan there is a lot of cultures but still to the out
countries they treat as just like one culture and is known as Pakistani
culture. Even subcontinent is also treated as one culture but this in a
specific occasion for example Asia is the largest subcontinent but the
countries outside the Asia also says the words like Asian culture and
we says the European culture or African culture. Language is the root
cause of culture. Humans learn their culture through language, the
parents first learned language to the kids after that they gradually
also learn their culture.

Family:
Family is one of the most important concept in the culture. Different
cultures define family in different ways. Some says that those who
have a blood relation with you is your family member, other says that
only your wife and kids are included in your family. According to an
author “Anthropologists say a culture’s biological and marital kinship
rules and patterns of reciprocal obligations define family”9, the
definition varies of different cultures. The people from rural
background define family in a large sense they include all of their
relatives in the family and those from urban background define
family in a little narrow sense as compared to the urban background
people.

Religion:
Religion is the most important in cultural society. In most of the
culture the religion is very respectful to all of the culture members
and they also strictly obey their religion. And the most respectful
religion among all the culture is Islam. Those cultures that have Islam
as religion they apply the order of Islam in their daily life and mostly
these people led a very happy life without much resources.
According to my survey a lot of my audience says that they follow
their religion strictly and says five time prayers which is the most
important thing as considered to Islam, and those audiences whose
religion was other than Islam they mostly says that we are not so
much following our religion.

Education:
Education also play important role in building a cultural society.
Education is the basic need of human. Without education humanity
is not possible, therefore almost all the cultures gives importance to
education and they possess only education for their success. But still
there are also so cultures which do not gives focus to education.
Some cultures give importance only to boys education and not to
female. In general most cultures gives importance to education and
they love the educated people of their culture.

Importance of culture:
Culture has great importance. Culture is the identity of the nation,
without culture the society is impossible. An author says about the
importance of culture that “culture is the set of transmitted and
learned behavior patterns, beliefs, institutions and all other products
of human work and thought that characterize the functioning of
particular population, profession, organization or community”10, so
the only representative of the particular community or population is
the culture. Culture is the basic root of any community which gives
them the ways of life. The Culture teach us to think for the whole
nation not individually, it provide the concept of family, nation etc.
