One important function of education is the

preservation of culture. Continuity of man’s social

life is possible through this process.

Culture has to be conserved and transmitted

to the youth for their own benefits because past
benefits are useful in learning the new ones.

Without language, culture among men would be wholly impossible.

The human being learned his language just as he learned his culture; man
is not born with a language.

Language is distinctly human system of behavior based on oral symbols.

It is a special system if communication that is specifically oral and

symbolic and it is learned.
