Culture and Development

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, customs, traditions, and values of a community or society. Development involves progress or growth in economic, social, and environmental aspects, improving people's quality of life. The relationship between culture and development is interconnected; a society’s culture influences its approach to growth, decision-making, and priorities, while development can evolve and reshape cultural practices. Recognizing this connection helps create sustainable growth that respects local identities and promotes social cohesion, ensuring progress benefits everyone while preserving cultural diversity.
