Abstract

What is culture? what are its definitions and what role does it play in human beings? Are cultures impassable faults and what makes them like billiard balls is the relationship between culture and worldview and way of thinking, the application of thought and its achievements? What does cultural activity have to do with our definition of culture, and why should we take this combination seriously and distance ourselves from any cultural engineering of society and cultural institutions, and essentially engineered cultural activities? The present article analyzes the internal relationship between cultures and culture at the center of these questions; and it shows that human behavior is the product of diverse education in various and broad cultural contexts; and that cultural activities should be taken in serious and in a purposeful manner based on the method of these contexts.
Key words:
Culture, cultural activities, cultural context, local culture, global culture
