Culture as a Means of Promoting Learning: A Study

Abstract

Learning is a continuous and life long process .In every step of our life we learn. Learning promotes our life style, thinking, and behavioural norms and this learning to a large extent is influenced by culture. Culture is all that man learns as a member of a society such as knowledge, science, art, skill, customs which are welfare oriented and man cultivate these in his living through the process of learning. By learning we enrich our culture and from cultural heritage we learn. Learning is a dynamic process and it changes according to the situation and place. We learn to preserve our culture and transmit it to the new generation in a refined form by taking the learning from previous ones. Culture is nothing but the learning from society which is welfare oriented. Culture is the integration and proper coordination between language and literature, life style, behavioural norms and beliefs, customs and traditions, art, music and dance, sculpture, religion, philosophy, ideas, beliefs, values. By learning our own culture and respecting other culture also, we can enrich and promote our process of learning. When we make our individual culture to world culture then our learning towards culture is successful and this learning is also influenced and promoted by culture
