Culture

There are many aspects of culture, and hence, by following a definition from the International Councils of Monuments and Sites - ICOMOS, one can better define the research points to be looked into.


Culture is “the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterize a community, society or social group. It includes not only arts and literature, but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of the human being, value systems, traditions and beliefs. Culture encompasses the living or the contemporary characteristics and values of a community as well as those that have survived from the past” ICOMOS 

Hence, you will realise that under the context of culture, the aspects that will be covered are:
1) Arts and Literature
2) Religion 

Traditions and beliefs, values, customs as well as food will be covered under the a main topic itself. However, it might contribute to the topic of culture as traditions and cultures are interlinked.
