It is understood by civilization, a society or set of societies that can be seen as an integrated whole and is more or less tangible even though its basic components (such as culture) may be immaterial.Ĭivilization cannot be transmitted from one generation to the other through the use of language. This is a broader concept than that of culture, since it comprises a complex set of elements of societies including forms of government, norms and culture itself.Įach civilization can comprise not only one, but several cultures. Likewise, culture can manifest itself tangibly or materially when it is the product of beliefs, customs and practices characteristic of a particular group of people. Unlike a civilization (which normally integrates several cultures), it can exist by itself. It is like the soul of a set of individuals. On the other hand, as a less encompassing concept, culture includes religion, art, philosophy, literature, art, music, dance … They bring satisfaction and pleasure to many and constitute a way of expressing aspects of their lives.Ĭulture is closely related to the thoughts, feelings, ideals and values shared by a group of people.
