Culture

We are either born or living our lives through it. It could be what we are and norm base of ones society.

I looked up in the internet and found that culture means; ‘the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought’ (now this is C&P technique). Now by this definition I’m questioning myself, does culture represent the society as whole or it’s just a sub topic of society. It’s more like the chicken and egg question which comes first, nevertheless I wanted to know if society develops culture as it was accepted normative behavior or the society is influenced by culture which they might have adapt for nature observations. But either way still culture remains as (as mentioned) transmitted behavior etc.

This is ‘Chincai’ observation, it’s too chincai I don’t have to leave my home for this. I figured out that culture must be introduced by a greater or important figure in society; it might be the ruler or highly respected members of it. At the same time any kinds of suggestions of beliefs interact kindly towards the community. Culture will consist of all system of beliefs and institution which eventually grow as political beliefs (now this is macro view). In order to maintain culture, it must be able to maintain the community both in economic and spiritual needs (iti nopo Marxism suggest opium of society). The evolution of culture now advocated on the outside influences of another culture. Expansion leads to interaction between other groups of communities. And non-the-less events happened that might have change or altered the core culture itself. Thus mixed culture would be proposed combination of core culture with the outside influences. In general this is the evolution of culture yet the transformation is rather slow as interactions between different groups are seldom occurred. The challenge is the mass media of world culture (westernization), we are slowly turning our lifestyle towards it (including this blog). World culture may be results of interaction of various groups around the world and sharing things in common. It’s widely accepted among many yet still western will always be different from Asia. The other side of the globe, sure it is. But its globalization, the new era and we will belong into a single culture called the earth culture.

Individually culture is felt very pleasant to such community belongs to it. So preservation of ones culture is essential for the survival of individual self need. Although we’re going through speed changes in our lives, we shouldn’t take our culture as simple as it is. The survival one culture still depends on the needs of its community, significant or relevant to the new world breed. Our forefathers lived their lives and subjected to their culture is what made us today.

Rungus people have maintained lots of its tradition for ages I’m proud of them, so lets preserve ours as well or any of us cause we ceased to be forgoten of what we are.
