“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any
authentic creation is a gift to the future without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society even when
perfect, is but a jungle.” - Albert camus

1.What does the quote imply?

In my own understanding this quote implies that without culture we don’t have any special tributes that we have in our
community. culture is defined as the common values, beliefs, conventions, customs, and practices that shape human
relationships and behavior within a group. It is implied that without culture, society would be chaotic and resemble a "jungle.”

2.WHY DOES HAVING A CULTURE IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY?

HAVING CULTURE IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT ASPECT IN OUR SOCIETY BECAUSE CULTURE DEFINED US, IT GIVES US IDENTITY ON HOW OTHER
PEOPLE CAN IDENTIFY US OR HOW OTHER PEOPLE CAN RECOGNIZE US. OUR CULTURE DRIVES OUR BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS, BELIEF SYSTEMS,
PRINCIPLES, AND WAYS OF LIFE. CULTURE IS THE UNSEEN THREAD THAT BINDS PEOPLE TOGETHER. IT RELATES TO HUMAN ACTIVITY. A
COMMUNITY’S CULTURE REPRESENTED BY ITS ART, LITERATURE, LANGUAGE AND RELIGION. OUR CULTURAL VALUES AND BELIEFS ARE MANIFESTED
IN OUR WAY OF LIVING. OUR MORAL IDEAS ARE THE CORE OF OUR CULTURE. THE IMPORTANCE OF CULTURE COMES FROM ITS STRONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH WAYS OF THINKING AND LIVING. CULTURE INFLUENCE HOW WE DEVELOP OUR ATTITUDE, CULTURAL IDEAS AND HOW WE
LIVED.
