ABSTRACT

Culture is made, formed, and supported by people of a nation, whether it is overt or covert. What would, then, drive people to make, form, and support it? It is not things of instinct nor inbred in nature. It is the second womb and nurtured through learning at home and in the community following one’s birth. It is an accumulation of modes of viewing things, ways of thinking and state of being which are characteristic of a nation’s people. ‘Culture’ is a frame or structure in ways of thought and deed specific to a group of people which is handed down through learning from their ancestors to descendants, from their parents to children. Culture differs from nation to nation, but every culture is learnable. Culture changes all the time, but it also embraces the things inherited from time immemorial.
