Culture

 Culture is what we learned. For example, all human has common biological feature. But we are not defined by that. We are defined by the culture that we have learned. That include stories, beliefs, media, ideas, religious practices, fashions etc. 18th and early 19th centuries, Europeans have had the idea of ​​high culture. European consider that their culture is superior compared to other countries. That is high culture. This appears not only Europe but all over the world. But many people realized that this is wrong, Now we learned that  there is no high culture compared with other cultures. And cultural meanings can be changed. That can be changed by the environment, inventions, and contact with other cultures. The one example of change meaning of something by contact with other culture is the ankh symbol. First meaning of this may be lost, but this symbol is used to as a symbol of power. Thus, there is no correct answer to culture.

 I think admit the fact that there is difference between cultures is very crucial. But this is also very difficult. For example, French think that eating dog is very uncivilized, while Korean thinks this could happen. This is not just for other country. For decades, or may be for centuries, There was discrimination between cultures. Even I have this discrimination problem. And probably everyone has this. And we have to try to get rid of this. But I also agree that there are some cultures have to change. Like culture to ignore the human rights. Even thogh all cultures have reason, I think this should be fixed. Some cultures have to protect, and some cultures have to change.

 I agreed that all culture is valuable. And I also agreed that some cultures have to change. Writing this article, I really wonder 'Can these two idea exist together?'.
