Culture Culture is identity of a nation. It depicts that what are the norms, values and general social behaviors, folk tales, symbols, literature, moral, religious values and sayings of a nation? Culture is a learned social behavior that we pass on from generation to generation. Way of life, our gossips, our dresses, our food habits, our language, our heroes and historical places is our culture. No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive. MAHATMA GANDHI.

People who are less educated or totally blank they should must be guided by leaders of their country to
Adopt good changes.
They should make people aware of their rights.
Status and class oriented cultures
Cast system and male domination are the negative aspects of Pakistani society.
There should be no discrimination on the base of cast system. As shea, suni.
It is basically the root of many evils. It creates misunderstanding among the people.
Rich people dominate due to their power of money. Mostly rich people are not hard workers; they love to sit and Oder things.
They are not as much skillful too. But just because of having money they rule on middle class and poor people. Rich people mostly consider themselves superior and others inferiors.
Middle class people are much skillful as compaired to rich ones. They are loyal and honest too.
They do their work with great interest.

Our way of living has been totally changed. We say hello instead of saying salaam, we do not give value of our Islamic culture. We wear European style dresses instead of wearing Shalwar Qameez. Urdu is our national language but we feel awkward to talk in Urdu.
We prefer Shakespeare novels instead of Allama Iqbal’s poetry. While English is our official language instead of Urdu. English medium schooling we are providing but Islamiat, Persian, Pak-studies and Arabic that should basics of our schooling, is going in dark. Those who talk in English considered educated. Eating food with folk is a manner. Indian vulgar songs are very popular in our society. Influence of Indian cultures
Pakistani culture has a great influenced by the surrounded cultures of India and Middle East. Our youth is taking inspirations from Turkish and Indian dramas. Even in our own dramas and films we are not able to seen our own culture. In result our youth and young children’s are away of our own cultural and social values. By using different media we can save our
Groups and individuals with that hold these resources use them to maintain power and social control. The wealthy are the independent variables that hold the power to make decisions and control how society is ran. The lower classes are the dependent variables that have little to no control over how society is structured. Conflict theorists encourage social change. Instead of allowing the “well off” to force social order on everyone else, the general public should fight for social change even at the expense of a possible social revolution.
Generally, people from wealthy families have more opportunity chances for
Their co-operation is evidently deficient, therefore leading to an increase in individualistic ideas. The rich people who are in the first class are greedy who
The rich use tactics to gain the support of the middle class, but without losing any of their own riches, like wealth or power, for their own gain. It was at the cost of the “slaves, Indians, and poor whites” (Zinn 1). It spared the rich any expenses, but brought them much gain, from the support. Finally, the growth of the colonies positively impacted the rich as well, as they received the profits and benefits from the expansions. With one percent of property owners owning forty four percent of the wealth, it shows how the majority of the wealth was given to the rich, and not distributed among the other classes at all, deepening the division.
While some who are rich hog all the money and keep it to themselves. It feels like rich people take advantage of society and how they can bribe politicians to make it their
Andrew Carnegie especially believed this. He believed that people should be wealthier than others and rich people are superior to poorer people and
Currently, we have both a wealthy class and common people rule. Everyone (common people) gets to vote, and those votes decide our future. But, because of their wealthy, the wealthy have an advantage when it comes to politics. They can pay a lot for the best lawyer (the best example being the OJ Simpson case) and be proven innocent because the lawyer raised reasonable doubt. Also, wealthy business owners could get the government to move a smaller business/store, using eminent domain, and place their own business at the location, using the words “public use” to tell the people it was for them.
Culture is the building block for life. It sets society's standards, it sets our own standards, and everything we know is all because of our culture. Culture is a way of thinking, a way of behaving and learning. We express our opinions based upon our beliefs, and define ourselves by what aspects of our culture we choose to show. Culture's impact on someone's perspective of others and the world is greater than its other influencers because it can change how you interact with people, your ability to change, and your opinions of the world.
One important component in which the upper class rule America is the electoral process. Loose campaign finance regulation, including controversial Supreme Court decisions such as Citizens United v. US and Buckley v. Valeo is a primary cause of the wealthy ruling politics. These two decisions asserted that corporations are not limited in their spending on political candidates. Essentially, the US Supreme Court enabled corporate leaders to buy influence - SuperPAC heads and wealthy businessmen were welcomed to join forces and pour as much money as possible into candidates’ campaigns. The net effect: America’s wealthiest individuals could exert an unmatchable influence on candidates and the electorate while pressing an agenda favoring the upper class.
The wealthy have so much power because of the money they possess. They have the power to change the economy through production of goods and services which the less wealthy tend to live on. If they stop producing these goods or services, the less wealthy will collapse. Hunger Games touches on this issue. The more wealthy districts have more money to train, and have more of a probability to win the Hunger Games.
The most powerful element in society is wealth, it has the power to corrupt the human mind and body. Andrew Carnegie the president of a $480 billion steel company believed it is “the duty of the man of wealth” to control all the money that comes to him, and “becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren… Doing for them better they would or could do for themselves” (Doc C). Clearly the immense amount of wealth he possessed has corrupted his mind to make such hostile judgment upon the poor. The mere dream of a laborer is to become successful in their jobs in order to earn the sufficient amount of money to buy a decent home, and raise a healthy family.
There are many different societies in our world today, and each of these communities treat and group their people differently. While some places, like the United States, do not have set groups, others, like India, have very strict laws about what each class can and cannot do. The Caste system in India is a great example of how one society strictly groups their members. The Caste system is a class structure that is determined at birth.
Piedad Molina Professor Ana Hernandez LIT 2480 October 7, 2015 Culture is the set of traditions, beliefs, and values, which are characteristic of a certain population. Each country or region has different parameters to determine their culture. The predominant values in the population, the language spoken, religious beliefs, and the way they dress; all these manners influence in the creation of a culture and what is autonomous of its region. Within a country we can find different cultures or ethnicities, social status, education and region make a population differ from another. The exchange of cultural ideas, beliefs, and values with the youngest members of the community make it possible for a culture to survive and to keep the legacy.
Cultural Narrative Culture is recognized as a noun and according to the dictionary it is defined as, “The customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation or people.” In other words, culture is the identity of a particular community that is learned by previous generations and is implied by certain institutions. Culture never remains the same because the future generations keep on evolving their beliefs and ways, of which they do things. There is a probability that your culture may differ from mine, and that is what makes our cultures so great! Our culture is what allows us to stand out and differ from one another.
