Popis: This chapter by Emmanuel D. Babatunde examines how culture is a created design for survival in a given environment. He shows that language is the physical expression of thought, art is culture in form, music is culture in sound, dance is rhythm in action, and value is the weight of importance that is attached to the essential elements of a people’s culture as demonstrated in their institutions such as the family, religion, economics, politics, as well as the cultural form of education peculiar to survival in one’s environment, using the level of technology that is available for making anything needed for survival easier, cheaper, and faster.
