culture




Summary

Culture is object or behavior. We have a particular form and we have certain abilities. We need culture. Culture is the non-biological or social aspects of human life, basically anything that is learned by humans is part of culture. Culture can also be seen to play a specific function in social life.
Anthropologists believed biological evolution produced an inclusive notion of culture, a concept that anthropologists could apply equally to non-literate and literate societies, or to nomadic and to sedentary societies. Since these symbolic systems were learned and taught, they began to develop independently of biological evolution. It is the origin of culture.
But, culture is often changed. By the late 19th century, anthropologists had changed the concept of culture to include a wider variety of societies, ultimately resulting in the concept of culture outlined above. And culture was intended to mean objects of a particular group, symbols, norms, values ​​and beliefs.

Counterculture is a subculture with the addition that some of its beliefs, values, or norms challenge or even contradict those of the main culture of which it is part. Subcultures bring together like-minded individuals who feel neglected by societal standards and allow them to develop a sense of identity.

Ethnocentrism is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one's own culture. Cultural relativism is the belief that the concepts and values of a culture cannot be fully translated into, or fully understood in, other languages.

opinion

I've always had an interest in culture. So, the challenge of this time, was very interesting. Part of ethnocentrism that was impressive. The ethnocentrism, there is the advantage of being able to effectively maintain the culture of the region. However, at the same time, there is a risk that could be isolated culturally. I think the need for neutral stance that is not biased in extreme you. In addition, I began to have interest in a positive impact of counterculture.

question

In addition, the surface of the culture change in the future to worry about.
