 Role of culture in Value education
• The term ‘culture’ is a Latin origin of the world ‘cultus’, which refers to
cultivating or refining something, in such a way that it provides admiration
and respect.
• In finer terms, culture is the way people live, reflected in the language they
spoke, food they eat, clothes they wear and the Diet they follow or worship.
• An individual is a social animal and culture of the society has a big influence on
the individual. The beliefs and traditions form the culture of the society.  
• It expresses the manner in which one thinks and do things.
• All of these have a certain worth which adds value to the mind and education of
the individual.
• An individual belongs to a society that is civilized and has a framework of culture
and values which add to the development of a person and shapes the behaviour
of the society where the individual lives.  
• Culture helps in molding the thinking pattern and traditions of society.

 Role of civilization in value education
• The term ‘civilization’ is derived from a Latin
term ‘civis’ which indicates ‘someone who resides
in a town’.
• Civilization refers to the physical development of the
society. It forms the structure of the society where the
individual lives.  
• Civilization is described as a process of civilizing
or say developing the state of human society, to
the extent that the culture, industry, technology,
government, etc. reaches the maximum level.

 Difference between culture and civilisation
1.The term ‘culture’ refers to the embodiment of the manner in which we
think, behave and act. On the contrary, the improved stage of human
society, where members have the considerable amount of social and
political organisation and development, is called Civilization.
2.Our culture describes what we are, but our civilization explains what
we have or what we make use of.
3.Culture is an end; it has no measurement standards. As against this,
civilization has precise measurement standards, because it is a
means.
4.The culture of a particular region can be reflected in religion, art,
dance, literature, customs, morals, music, philosophy, etc. On the
other hand, the civilization is exhibited in the law, administration,
infrastructure, architecture, social arrangement, etc. of that area.

 Difference between culture and civilisation

5. Culture denote the greatest level of inner refinement, and so it is

internal. Unlike, civilization which is external, i.e. it is the
expression of state of the art technology, product, devices,
infrastructure and so forth.
6. Change in culture is observed with time, as in the old thoughts
and traditions lost with the passage of time and new ones are
added to it which are then transmitted from one generation to
another. On the flip side, civilization is continuously advancing,
i.e. the various elements of civilization like means of
transportation, communication, etc. are developing day by day.
7. Culture can evolve and flourish, even if the civilization does not
exist. In contrast, civilization cannot grow and exist without
culture.

 Concluding Remarks

• Without the ship we could not sail at all; according to the

character of the ship we sail fast or slow, take longer or
shorter voyages. But the direction in which we travel is
not predestined by the design of the ship. The more
efficient it is; the more ports lie within the range of our
choosing”.
• In short, civilisation is the driving force of society.
Culture is its steering wheel.
• Conclusion
Culture and civilisation both are created by human
and are means to express the way we lead our lives.

Harmony in Family – Justice, From Family to World Family (Undivided Society)

1. Relationship is (it already exists – we just need to realise it) –

between one self (I1) and other self (I2)

2. The base of relationship is feelings – in one self (I1) for other self (I2)

3. These feelings are definite (9 Feelings) – they can be understood

4. Justice in relationship is understanding relationship, acceptance of

relationship, having the right feelings, expressing these feelings, right
evaluation of these feelings leading to mutual happiness
Having the right understanding & right feeling in myself leads to my happiness
Expressing (sharing) these feelings to the other & it’s right evaluation by the other leads
to his/her happiness

Justice  from Family to World Family culture civilisation

Important Questions:
1. Reflect on your assumptions about each of the 9 feelings. Study the
proposals about each of the 9 feelings

2. Are you making effort for getting feelings from others or for ensuring the
feelings in yourself?

3. What is the role of physical facility in the fulfillment of relationship?

4. Are you working for excellence or for being special / domination? What are
your underlying assumptions about happiness and about relationship?
