Exploring culture： What is culture and how to identify whether there is culture or not？

Culture refers to the values, belief system, behavior norms, artistic creation, language, customs and traditions shared by a society or group. It is the product of human evolution and social development, which helps to shape the identity and thinking mode of individuals and groups.

Identifying whether a person has a culture is not simply about whether he has a high degree of education or extensive knowledge. The embodiment of culture depends more on a person’s ideological depth, values, interpersonal communication and behavior. Here are some ways to identify whether a person is literate or not:

Breadth and depth of knowledge: A literate person usually has a wide range of knowledge, not limited to a certain field, but also can deeply understand and think about what he has learned.

Open mind and curiosity: Educated people usually have open mind, are willing to accept new ideas and ideas, and are curious about different cultures and concepts.

Art and aesthetic consciousness: Culture and art are closely related, and literate people usually have a certain ability to appreciate and understand art forms such as painting, music and literature.

Language expression ability: A literate person usually has good language expression ability and can express his views and thoughts in accurate and vivid language.

Social consciousness and code of conduct: Educated people usually have high social consciousness, can respect others, abide by social code of conduct, and actively participate in social activities.

In a word, literacy is not only knowledge, but also a way of thinking, a code of conduct and an understanding of the world. By observing a person’s knowledge, way of thinking, artistic appreciation, language expression and social behavior, we can preliminarily judge whether he has culture or not. However, culture is a complex concept, and everyone’s understanding and expression may be different, so we should keep an open mind, respect diversity, and have positive exchanges and dialogues with others.
