Question:

Illustrate some ways of culture providing the context for development?

Author: Ahmad Danial



Answer:

1. Certain concepts are unique to certain cultures. Therefore, only individuals of that culture will know that concept as a cognitive tool for both thinking and communication. For example, the term 'bushido' or 'ikigai' for the Japanese people. Some words don't translate their full meaning in different languages 2. Work culture also varies from culture to culture. Some cultures are more time-specific while others are more lax to timings and deadlines. Some cultures gravitate naturally towards cooperation while some cultures lean on competitive tendencies. 3. Different cultures also have different values, ideas and religion that will influence how children develop as they are fully immersed in it.
