Culture is defined as a process of cultivation or improvement, where the usage of the word in social contexts are about cultivating our mind. According to Wikipedia, there are two basic meanings, where one has to do with how we can represent our experiences with symbols – and to be able to act with fantasy and creativity – and the other has to do with how people in different parts of the world classify their reality and experiences.
With that said, why should we at all bother about culture? Why read a book or go to the theater? Why do we paint pictures, why do we play music and why do we sculpture? Why do we write poems and why do we sing?
Simply, because this is what life is about. Watching a good movie, reading a good book or playing the latest song by your favorite artist is breathing the very essence of life. Life wouldn’t be anything without culture, just as life wouldn’t be possible without air.
