WHAT IS
CULTURE?
CULTURE IS THE WAY OF LIFE OF A
GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO SHARE SIMILAR
BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS.
ELEMENTS OF CULTURE
--What languages the people speak
--What religions they follow
--What smaller groups form as parts of their
societies
--Also deals with people’s daily lives
--History the people have shared
--Art forms they’ve created
--How people govern their society
--How they make a living
HOW CAN THIS CAUSE CONFLICTS OR
BRING OTHERS TOGETHER?
LANGUAGE
--Language is a KEY ELEMENT in a culture’s
development.
--People communicate INFORMATION &
EXPERIENCES and in turn, pass on CULTURAL
VALUES AND TRADITIONS
**SHARING A LANGUAGE IS ONE OF THE
STRONGEST UNIFYING FORCES FOR A
CULTURE.**
--There are language differences even in the same
cultures Dialects, pronunciations, meaning,
slang, etc.
--LANGUAGE FAMILIES: large groups of languages
having similar roots
Did you know?
As many as half of the
world’s 3,000-6,500 known
languages are expected to
disappear by 2100. As
global communications
increase, the need for
languages that are widely
spoken becomes greater.
Today children learn
languages such as English,
Chinese, Spanish, or Arabic.
What impact will this have on the future of
spoken languages? Will there be new
languages?
