I have learned that the word culture comes from the Latin word, culture derived from colere, which means, to cultivate. No culture belongs to an individual. It is shared among many people of a certain part of the world. It belongs to a single community and not to any single human being.
After this lecture, I realized that culture can not exist in isolation and it is impossible to know everything about our own culture. Сulture was formed throughout all centuries and continues to evolve. Culture distinguishes one nation from another, makes them unique and inimitable in their beauty.
I found out about elements of culture which include:
Language:
The various languages are essentially an important part of the
culture.
Norms:
Every society or every civilization has a set of norms, which are an
inseparable part, and an important element of the culture. This can
include the folkways, mores, taboos and rituals in a culture.
Values:
The social values of a particular civilization are also considered as
an element of the culture.
Religion
and Beliefs:
The religion and the beliefs of the people in a civilization play an
important role in shaping up of the culture as well.
Social
Collectives:
Social collectives refer to the social groups, organizations,
communities, institutions, classes, and societies, which are
considered as symbolic social constructions.
Cultural
Integration: This
includes the degree of harmony or integration within the various
elements of culture. This can include elements like sub-cultures,
local cultures and the difference between historical and cultural
traditions.
I understood that It is our moral responsibility to understand our own culture. There is a need to study our own cultural values and ideals, which have shaped our society. It is necessary to have respect and pride for culture. There is a need to look into the past that has shaped our present.
