Relationship Between Language and Culture

Learning about culture is just as important as learning the languages.

Language is the method of human communication, either in written or a spoken form whereas, cultire is the idea, values and beliefs we have in our society

Communication or language is a mechanism for channeling culture and cultural bonds that reflects andreproduces culture

Culture is something influenced and impacted by the language whereas, language is formed by the culture ofa society

Our values and speech shapes our identity and personality

Humans are born in the same way and experience the same stages of life

When we learn a new language, it doesn´t no specifically involve only the alphabets, the word arrangements and rules of grammar

In American English , there are endless supply of superlatives even in ordinary situations such as: awesome, incredible, fantastic, and many others

Similarly, there are also superlatives such as killer, sick, sweet, or wicked. These words mighth not make sense to everyone

Similarly, in korea, the term called "our" is mostly used due their collectivism culturerather than individualism

The difference between two cultures are reflected perfectly in their languages

Culture and perception

What are Belief systems

In beliefs we live, we move and we are; the beliefs constitute the base of our life, the land on which we live. All our conduct, including the intellectual lfe, depends on the system of our authentic beliefs

The use of term "belief system" can be highly confusing. Psychologists, political, scientists and anthropologists tend use the term in rather different senses.

Characteristics of Belief system

Belief systems have an exisrtence that is independent of the believers who experienced the commitment

The life span of a belief system is potentially longer than the life span of believers

Belief systems vary almost infinitely in substantive content

The boundaries of a belief system are generall, although not always, undefined

Belief system often include representations of alternative worlds, typically the world as it is and the world as it should be.

Cultural perception is how an individual´s culture affects the way he or she´s see the world . Since culture informs all areas of life (including the arts, thought, religion, language, food, etc) perception (how they see the world ) is significantly impacted by culture.
