CULTURE

“People cannot maintain their spiritual roots and their connection to the past if the physical world they live in does not also sustain these roots” a culture is made up of many people that are at one with each other and live and pass on generations of knowledge. in “society where there are many voices, and many values, people cling to those few things which they all have in common” suggesting that at times a culture is that of society that finds comfort in ideas that are familiar. Opposing to this idea “Mass society not only creates a confusing situation in which people find it hard to find themselves” as the beginning of multiple cultures in a community can increase mixed emotions. Individuals form their own self out of the values, habit and beliefs, and attitude which their society presents them with. In a metropolis the individuals is confronted by a vast tableau of different values, habits and beliefs and attitudes” which are demonstrated by a range of different people supporting the idea of culture in a society.
