The art, literature, language, and religion of a community represent its culture. Our cultural values and beliefs manifest themselves through our lifestyle.

Our moral values represent our culture. The importance of culture lies in its close association with the ways of thinking and living. Differences in cultures have led to diversity in the people from different parts of the world, and hence it is very important to promote our culture.

Culture is related to the development of our attitude. Our cultural values influence how we approach living. Culture is the ultimate system of social control where people monitor their own standards and behavior. Our cultural values serve as the founding principles of our life. They shape our thinking, behavior, and personality, added Sarkar.
