Iam dr. Selim, will walk with you through a set of definitions and others to differentiate between culture and civilization in a simplified way. Soon you will read the scientific definitions of each of culture and civilization, but I will introduce you to them in a simple sentence, when you wake up and drink your cup of coffee or prefer to play sports before breakfast, or read newspapers or or or, this is your culture, If we assume that you are forty years old and live in urban areas and others are in their forties also, but live in the countryside, is his lifestyle from morning to evening exactly like you? Of course it is impossible, then his lifestyle from morning to evening is his culture, As for civilization: it is your raising your culture and behavior to the point that others want to follow your example, this is civilisation, in the sense that if you are in the East and you make a brand (an international brand) and someone in the West wears this brand of yours, then you exported your civilization to this country, so you created a civilization In short, culture is local and civilization is global.
The definitions
the culture
Collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or class of people from another
Culture refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchy, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relationships, notions of the universe, material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual struggle
The sum of learned behavior of a group of people that is generally considered to be an imitation of that people and passed down from generation to generation.
The Civilization
An advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached
“Civilized” means: housing in the city is protected by the constitution and law of Rouen belonging to the larger Roman community It is difficult to define the term “civilization” exactly because people all over the world have different understandings of the term “civilization”, therefore the term “civilization” is a less specific term From the obvious term. Here are some textual definitions of civilization: A civilization is a form of human culture in which many people live in urban centers, have mastered the art of smelting metals, and have developed a method of writing. The first civilizations began in cities, which were larger, more densely populated, and more complex in their political, economic, and social structure than Neolithic villages. One definition of civilization requires civilized people to have a sense of history - which means that the past is important in the present. Although it is difficult to define "civilization", it is possible to know the factors that led to the emergence of civilization and the characteristics of civilizations
The visual memory of societies is represented in art. How many patriotic songs did you hear during the difficult times in your society at some point in time? Hearing them still affects you greatly, and perhaps you have made yourself proud and your thirties or forties through such and such a capable actor or actress who acted with merit, until you almost did not separate him from your personal life, Sculpture, painting, poetry and other arts that you may have seen yourself in. Art is the visible memory of the nation because it will not disappear you have the nostalgia.
Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values, and translating experiences across space and time. Research has shown that art affects the basic sense of self. Painting, sculpture, music, literature, and other arts are often seen as a repository of a society's collective memory. Art preserves what historical, fact-based records cannot: how it felt to be in a particular place at a particular time.
Art in this sense is communication
It allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other through images, sounds and stories. Art is often a vehicle for social change. It can give a voice to the politically or socially disadvantaged. A song, movie, or novel can stir up emotions in those who encounter it, inspiring them to mobilize for change
Researchers have long been interested in the relationship between art and the human brain. For example, in 2013, researchers from Newcastle University found that viewing contemporary visual art had positive effects on the personal lives of older people at home. Art also has utilitarian effects on society. There is a demonstrably positive relationship between schoolchildren's scores in mathematics and literacy, and their participation in theatrical or musical activities. As the National Association for Art Education points out, art is beneficial to the artist as an outlet for action. Art is not limited to enhancing the human need for self-expression and fulfillment; It is also economically viable. Creating, managing, and distributing art employs many

Art: writing and bookkeeping
The simplistic
The ancients wrote on the walls to preserve their precious heritage for us, and therefore the idea of writing is a central idea in people’s culture, by which they preserve the details of their lives, and whoever loves writing writes down the small and the large, It is possible that the conscience of his descendants will be shaped by more of the culture of an era and its supply of information, so if we lose writing as part of culture, we lose part of the culture that, if its pillars were completed, might have transferred us to civilization. Now, young people in many Arab countries have lost communication with Arabic writing, they are satisfied with the English text instead of it, or just emoji symbols, and this is a danger to future generations inheriting part of the language (writing) and part of our identity, our Arab culture.
In the cultural evolution of human cooperation
Efforts to account for the emergence of large-scale, cooperative human societies have focused on a range of cultural developments, from the advent of agriculture to the emergence of new forms of political organization and social identity. A number of these cultural adaptations have been proposed to overcome the shortcomings of our innate psychological tools but little attention has been paid to the role of writing and record-keeping in the evolution of cooperation in large-scale societies, which is the main focus of the current study. The behavioral innovation of literacy is one of the most important changes that humans experienced during the Holocene.
Recent insights and evidence gleaned here from anthropology, behavioral economics, palaeography, grammar, and evolutionary psychology suggest that writing and record-keeping allowed humans to solve the problem of cooperation in ethnically diverse suprasocial political systems by facilitating five vital processes for effective cooperation between Strangers: reciprocity, forming and maintaining reputation, enforcing norms, recognizing imagined communities, extending empathy to unknown others
Writing and record keeping support systems of mutual exchange by facilitating the tracing of heterogeneous interactions that would otherwise be impossible to track and remember. They provide a permanent record of a persons past behavior and the status of their reputation. They promote the standardization and maintenance of social norms and associated moral sanction in a large population. They are hastening to create increasingly large and prominent group identities. Finally, educated systems make it easier to empathize with strangers. These diverse functions of literacy have played an important, hitherto neglected, role in the evolution of social complexity

Religion and culture
simplistic
As we said earlier, take it as a rule from your morning to your evening. What you do in joys, sorrows and anger is your culture, and religion is part of culture. I used to think that my culture is my religion, but unfortunately this is not true. Religion is part of culture as you saw previously and you will see later that culture is its elements. Many of which are religion, now: Religion is a huge part of our culture, Take into account the joy you bring what do you wear Do you wear formal clothes or do you prefer sportswear to be comfortable? Do you know that in some Chinese neighborhoods the bride wears a red wedding dress, and do you think that wearing white in some countries is the official dress for mourning? What do I mean? I mean that your religion - that is, what constitutes your identity in your clothes, the way you console you, and even the language you speak with those around you, as if it were a mental background that forms the conscious mind, when events jump from the unconscious mind to the conscious mind and begin to appear.
Also, religions (their differences) create clashes with world politics in many cases, for several reasons:
1 - The large number of earthly religions, along with the heavenly ones, makes those in charge of policies reject all religions altogether
2 - Some religions carry religious symbols that are hated or forbidden publicly, especially the veil in the heavenly religion
3 - Mostly the major ideologies in the West have a contradictory or hostile meaning to religions, or at least some of them
Religion and culture seem like complex ideas that must be studied in terms of international relations. After all, scientists and philosophers have long debated the meaning of these terms and their impact on our understanding of the social world around us. Is the study of religion and culture on a global scale an impossibly complex task? Fortunately, the answer is no, because we can recognize and respect complexity without being confused about what we mean by each term.
What do we mean by the terms "religion" and "culture"?
Where can we see examples of religion and culture operating in the realms of global politics? How do religious and cultural factors affect our ability to live together? There has already been a shift in thinking in international relations about the value of religion and culture. How can we define religion and culture in a way that informs the study of world politics? It is important to draw each term individually before putting them back together to form a composite picture. We start with religion, a category that scholars and policymakers once considered irrelevant to the study of international relations because it was not believed to be important to the economic and security interests of modern states and their citizens. However, many scholars now believe that religion cannot be ignored. While the idea of culture in international relations has been downplayed, its inclusion in analyzes of world affairs predates the idea of religion and is considered less controversial. We will look at four elements from each category and then make important connections between them so that religion and culture have meaning as a whole, not piecemeal ideas.
Can we live together?
One of the most pressing questions related to our study is whether religious and cultural actors and their agendas have a positive or negative influence on world affairs. As we saw above, these elements relate to some of the deepest levels of human experience, both individually and internationally. Should policymakers try to unleash the powerful energy of religious and cultural identity for a better world, or should they try to “keep a lid on it” for fear of unleashing forces that could harm our ability to get along with others?
Religion and culture create a 'clash of civilizations'
When Soviet Communism finally collapsed in 1991, US President George W. Bush heralded the beginning of a "New World Order". In many ways this was an accurate description because the conflict between the Soviet Union and the West shaped the dynamics of world affairs for half a century. But what will this new system look like? One answer was provided by Samuel P. Huntington (1993), who suggested that world politics would no longer be shaped by a clash of ideologies (such as capitalism and communism) but rather by a "clash of civilizations." With this premise, Huntington still assumes that world politics will It is shaped by conflict as much as the Cold War before it.
The major shift in thinking was the prominence that religious and cultural identity would play in shaping the conflict. For Huntington, civilization was understood as "a cultural entity... defined by common objective elements such as language, history, religion, customs, institutions, and people's subjective self-identification" (1993, 23-24). Significantly, the descriptions Huntington gives of major civilizations have cultural or religious relevance: "Western, Confucian, Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, Slavic, Latin American, and possibly African" (1993, 25)
In this chapter we set out to sketch out religion and culture in world affairs. The aim was to show that religious and cultural factors are important if we are to deepen our understanding of international relations. The method was to identify the elements of each concept and consider the impact of these elements on aspects of our individual, national and international experience. We hope you are convinced that an understanding of religious and cultural issues is essential
If you would like to join some of the most important debates about global politics today. There are few concerns about international relations today that do not include elements of religion, culture, or both

The clothing and culture
The simplistic
The author of the article Clothing and Culture says: Culture is not something that only the elites of society possess, such as only the richest, the most educated, or the most advanced in understanding the arts. During a recent visit to a friend in the Canary Islands, he said, "I can identify the British people here at a glance." I asked him how he answered: "According to their dress and style." This made me think of clothing as a cultural phenomenon. Our clothes convey information about ourselves, our social position and society's values. Dress styles are inevitably interpreted through the lens of our cultural orientation.
And I say clothing is an element of culture that no one overlooks except the ignorant. Why? Because clothes are used politically, used religiously, used socially, used professionally, used economically...
Let us explain
politically
I will not tell you about what the youth wear behind the American presidential candidate or others. I will not tell you about the parliamentarians. What do they wear? But I will tell you that there are religious clothes that are almost internationally prohibited in global political forums, such as the Islamic headscarf and perhaps the Jewish hat, and clothes that refer to a priest.
Religious
It is not hidden from you the clothes of the Jews, especially the religious ones, other than the clothes of Christians, other than the clothes of Muslims, other than the clothes of Buddhists and others, Religious symbols in every religion have a special taste, and none of the general public ignores them, especially the three Monotheistic religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), and you are well aware that some Jewish sects wear the niqab for their women.
socially
They wore the burqa, not the niqab, in the forties in Egypt, as a modesty for the elite and not for the common people, which is inferior to the burqa, and the two are different from the Islamic veil.
professionally:
A nurse cannot wear the clothes of a doctor, otherwise he is considered a forger and is transferred to the investigations, the clothes of the carpenter, the clothes of the blacksmith, the clothes of the traffic man, the officer, and others ... None of them or others can wear professional clothes that are not his, otherwise he is considered impersonating a person other than his, and then he is transferred to Investigations that may have caused him to be imprisoned.
economically
You see, the continent of Asia is the largest producer of clothing in the world due to cheap labor. Most of the international brands are manufactured there, including fast clothes or the so-called fast fashion or sustainable clothes that are more expensive in price and quality. All this is reflected in the countries, communities and individuals working in the field of clothing with abundant profit. And very little goes to non-producers (sellers, shop owners and agencies), Has it come to your attention now: that clothes are an element of your culture, you may like modest clothes and your brother from your mother and father do not like that, and others wear religious clothes, and others prefer luxury in clothes, while the countryside has clothes that no one overlooks ... that clothes are an element of The element of culture.
What factors influence the types of clothing worn in a culture?
Ruth Benedict (1959) drew what she called the "arc of human potential" to indicate that each culture makes choices among a wide range of possibilities for any form of behaviour. Next, each culture selects the sounds of language, foods, materials of clothing, different designs, and other behaviors. In any culture, the following factors shape choices of dress and other behaviors: climate, natural resources, religion, thought, rituals, technology, cultural communication and dissemination of ideas, social and political organization, history.
Aesthetic Rules What do your clothes say about you
Our clothing can refer to religious beliefs (usually a nun, Hasidic Jewish clothing, Muslim abaya), an important event in our life (wedding dress, mourning clothing, prom uniform), or our sense of belonging to a subculture (Scouting uniform, sports team clothing) , and our activities (work uniforms, sportswear). We can also look at historical trends through changing views of what is considered "acceptable" clothing. In some societies, it was unthinkable for women to wear trousers, or for people to venture outside without a hat, but over time these social "rules" changed and both are now common. In other societies, these norms still apply, and in others, they never existed in the first place. Social and cultural values such as decency and decency are closely linked to our clothing.
I'm sure most of us have experienced the uncomfortable feeling of being pressured or put down in a social situation. When visiting, living in, and working in a foreign country, it is essential to understand the dress code and standards regarding clothing in that country. Are there clothes that are considered inappropriate or indecent? If you were invited to someone's house for dinner, should you be dressed up or dressed down? Understanding and sticking to clothing expectations can help make a great first impression. Dress codes are often unwritten, but essential to feeling comfortable in another country. How do you expect to dress for work?

Body ornament as an element of culture
The simplistic
I wondered when I saw Post-humans wearing horns on their heads or adornments on their faces, as if their face was perforated and had small earrings across the width of the entire forehead, why, is it art or revolution? Is it announcing something that he cannot speak about, so he shows it on his body, for everyone knows that he is rebelling against the prevailing conditions, but when I saw the African tribes doing his work for the sake of beauty and social status, I knew that the children of Adam, most of them, do not want to decorate for the sake of adornment, but rather for glory, fame and the immortality of their memory, of course this just an opinion .
Body culture studies describe and contrast bodily practice in the broader context of culture and society, that is, in the traditions of anthropology, history, and sociology. Because body culture studies analyze culture and society in terms of human physical practices, it is sometimes viewed as a form of material phenomenon, and its significance (in German Körperkultur, in Danish kropskultur) was discovered in the early 20th century by several historians and sociologists. During the 1980s, a particular school of body culture studies, in connection with mathematical studies – proliferated and is critically related to it. These studies have been created privately in Danish universities and academies and run in collaboration with research networks in the Nordic countries, Europe and East Asia.
Body culture studies include studies in dance, play (play (activity)), game, outdoor activities, ceremonies, and other forms of movement culture. It floats on studies in medical cultures, work customs, gender and sexual cultures, fashion and body ornament, folk ceremony and folk culture studies, and has made useful when it brings the study of sport into a broader historical and social debate--from the level of subjectivity to civil society, the state, and the market.
Body culture in tattoos
The concept of tattoos as symbols to represent someone who is part of a group or a member of a tribe can be indications of how tattoos are used to study culture. In most cultures, tattoos play an important role in society to show that a person has completed a rite of passage. A global perspective on the symbolism and meaning of body art Here are a number of reasons why people from all over the world get into body art. For example, in Malaysia people pierce their bodies to celebrate or offer prayers or prayers. It's also important to understand that body art goes with all body modifications, from tattoos to piercings to brands and scars.
Sometimes the meanings behind body art are overlooked
And a negative bias is placed either on body art specifically or the person who wears it as a whole. However, body art can provide knowledge, context, and significance to people's life stories and their perceptions of the world. It's one thing to actually see body art, but it's another to take the time to understand the symbolism and meaning of body art. Dr. Gina Zanolini Morrison, Professor of World History and Languages at Wilkes University, provided context and insight into this issue or body art and meanings. "I think the stigma against body art like tattoos is still there, but it's getting better," she said.
Morrison outlined some of the many reasons why people, not only in the United States, but all over the world get their hands on body art. She also drew on her experiences in Malaysia as well as her experience as an ESL teacher
“I remember being in that class, and seeing Ethiopian women with scars on their faces. I learned later that scars indicate status, beauty, and cultural identity.” I was also reminded of a time when I watched guys from Laos, who had large dragon tattoos running up and down their bodies, playing soccer. Morrison also described her time in Malaysia, where she and the students had the opportunity to experience Thaipusam, a religious festival held annually in honor of Murugan, the Hindu god of war. During the festival, devotees who choose to do so become enchanted and pierce themselves in any position of the body. The devotees then climb the steps of the temple and offer prayers.
Morrison's experiences illustrate some, but not all, of the reasons people pursue body art. Morrison explains
"People get body art like tattoos for symbolic reasons, and they use body art as a form of reward in some cases, as well as to attract a particular social community, and sometimes to break away from the norms of their own society." She also explained the rise of the cultural art of henna from India. "My daughter makes henna and it's a very beautiful art form," she said.
Henna is a body art used in India in traditional families, often for marriage and festive occasions. Henna is actually a plant that is made into a paste that is applied to a person's skin in intricate designs. However, the paste is not permanent and may wash off over time.
Continuing the body art discussion, Morrison's advice to those who are quick to judge based on the sheer image of a tattoo, piercing, or scratch on someone is this: "Be careful with personal questions and respect the meanings of personal art." If the meanings and symbols behind the art can be analyzed body and making a person special because of his personal art, it provides the community and its people with an opportunity for an open mind to new ideas, perspectives and insights from not just one person but entire groups of people. It allows not only to challenge the fallacies of body art, but to eradicate it at the expense of a tolerant and accepting society.

The culture and buildings
The simplistic
The buildings are related to culture: when you see the ancient cities in the Arab countries, you find them with a certain style (European style), and if you enter Spain or Turkey, you find the Arab style authentic in the ancient cities there. He owns a culture and transmits it to people anywhere if it turns into a civilization, and the buildings are also affected by their inhabitants, as the state of material poverty casts a shadow on the buildings with the advancing age, the age of the building and the age of the people, so you do not find restoration or modernization, and whoever has an artistic taste finds this reflected in the building that he builds, Or even the state of society as a whole, look at the old buildings, how much engineering decoration is much higher than the modern cement blocks, so the buildings are an element of culture.
The relationship between architecture and society is clear, and although it is sometimes overlooked, it is something we must keep in mind whenever we want to build or design something for people other than ourselves. We all know that people and their activities are rooted in architecture. Buildings, fundamentally social and cultural products, are influenced by the ideas, values, beliefs, activities, relationships and forms of the social organizations they support. Society produces buildings, and buildings, although they do not produce society, help maintain many of its social forms, but do sometimes wonder that perhaps our physical environment may influence the way we live together and treat each other in social situations such as housing, work, school, and care health, and those buildings affect and are affected by society and its organizations, as well as by human behavior?
So what can we understand about society by examining its buildings and physical environment? And what can we understand about buildings and environments by examining the society in which they are located?
In his book, Analysis of Architecture, Simon Unwin states that people make places where they do the things they do in their lives — places to eat, sleep, shop, worship, argue, learn, store, and so on. The way they organize their spaces is linked to their beliefs, aspirations, and worldview. Because of the different worldviews, architecture also differs on a personal level, on a social and cultural level, and between different subcultures within a society. I find this to be very accurate and inspiring. If you understand how a person relates to the world, then you understand how to design for that person. And perhaps less judgment, considering that all worldviews are valid, since they are closely related to the variety of factors a given individual is exposed to.
It is clear that buildings and the entire built environment are primarily social and cultural products.
Buildings result from social needs and accommodate a variety of functions: social, political, economic, religious and cultural. Its size, appearance, location and shape are governed not only by material factors but by the ideas of society, the forms of economic and social organisations, the distribution of resources and power, their activities, beliefs and values, which prevail in any place. one period of time. As society changes, so does its construction environment. New building types appear as old ones become obsolete. Some buildings have been modified and expanded and take on different functions; Others may simply disappear. Society produces its buildings, and buildings, though they do not produce society, help sustain many of its social forms.
Understanding of buildings and environments
We must understand the society and culture in which they exist. Not only will this help develop design methods with intent, furthermore to create design patterns to change environmental and social behaviour, but it will contribute to underlining the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in general, and sociology and architecture in particular. I think research on this subject will be useful in the sense that it will attempt to identify what is common to all men as human beings and social beings and what is unique to them as individuals, or as members of any one society or culture. The result will bring not only a possible sociological interpretation of the constructed form, but the way in which the constructed form can be used to understand society and its institutions. So, if some institutions are common to all societies, do they give rise to common building types? If so, how do these types differ from culture to culture? An office building, for example, may be a universal type of building in modern societies, but how does its shape and interior arrangements differ between Germany and Cuba or Canada and Indonesia?
And as a result, if we want to
By examining the relationship between society and the built environment, we can identify how architecture, as well as the larger built environment, can be used as a tool of social control. It is not simply a matter of incorporating the ideas and beliefs of the 'community' into the constructed form. It is true that certain ideas and behavior are shared by all members of a given society (indeed, it is these that partly mark them as belonging to the same culture); However, the others are not. The social distribution of ideas, knowledge, or values is equally important. So I ask on the basis of his ideas, his beliefs, his values, or his view of the world, on which decisions are based? These questions can be asked equally about any aspect of the built environment today
In conclusion, I have this question from Zen teaching that I like very much: "If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one to hear it, does it still make a sound?" Along the same lines, I ask if there are no people will the built environment still exist? The answer is not only obvious, but also full of meaning. Buildings are affected by society and to some extent a society can be affected by its buildings, and I think that is a worthy topic

The Symbols and Culture Cultural Anthropology
Symbols invade us in our daily lives, starting from the logos of local or international brands, even in drinks or food. It is very large, including the symbol of coins, digital currencies, the symbol of victory, the symbol of peace, symbols of the names of banks and international organizations, etc. We are immersed in symbols from above to our feet and they are part of our daily lives that we cannot escape from, and therefore they are an element of culture
The Rosetta Stone has several different languages etched into it. Symbols are the foundation of culture. A symbol is a thing, word, or action that represents something else that has no natural, culturally defined relationship. Everything that one does throughout one's life is constructed and organized through cultural symbolism. Symbolism is when something represents abstract ideas or concepts. Some good examples of symbols/symbolism are objects, shapes, sounds, and colours. For example in Hawaiian culture, the performance of a lua is a symbol of their land and heritage which is performed through singing and dancing. Also, it can be facial expressions or interpretations of words. Symbols mean different things to different people, which is why it is impossible to assume how a particular culture symbolizes something. Some symbols are gained from experience, while others are gained from culture. Language is one of the most common cultural codes. For example, the letters of the alphabet stand for the sounds of a particular spoken language
Symbolism leads to the concept of "layers of meaning". Culture is the shared meaning of providing the guidelines for the individual meaning.
Language is the most widely used form of symbolism. There are 6,912 known living languages, and the diversity is a result of isolation. Most languages have a different "code" for each letter, word, or phrase. The use of symbols is adaptive, meaning that humans can learn to associate new symbols with a new concept or concepts with a symbol. An example can be drawn from two groups speaking different languages who come into contact with each other and need to communicate. It constitutes a language with a great deal of flexibility in using either language's symbols (sound patterns in this case) or a mixed set of symbols to communicate messages back and forth. This language of communication, or pidgin, gradually gives way to Creoles with a more formal set of symbols (words), the grammar of their organization, and the native speakers who pass the language down from generation to generation.
It is important for anthropologists to consider their cultural background when looking at symbolism in a different culture
This is because many symbols, although similar in appearance, can mean completely different things. These symbols can best be understood or interpreted through the eyes of the culture they belong to, otherwise they may lose their unique significance. One example of a misinterpreted cultural symbol is the "log swirl" symbol commonly used in the weaving of blankets in the American Southwest. This symbol is almost identical to the Nazi swastika, and thus brings a negative response from many Americans. Although the Native American symbol has nothing to do with Nazi or Germanic symbolism, this design is rarely used on blankets today due to misinterpretation

The Culture and behaviour
In the past, they said: Behavior is the mirror of thought. If thoughts are arranged and organized in the mind, they appear in the same form and manner on the ground of reality. If it is the other way around, reality also shows that well, and behavior is the highest point in the snow mountain. It is only a manifestation of complex processes that occur in The internal human structure of the conscious mind, as it starts from the identity at the lowest point in the snow mountain, passing through the intermediate beliefs that man built throughout his life, ending with simple beliefs, and then the emergence of behavior.
I'll give you an example
If you hit someone with your car and your reaction as an oppressor depends on your identity (the lowest point in the snow mountain), did he curse you with your father and mother, were the words hurtful, did he accuse you in your mind or something else... If he did, then he annoyed you about your identity and it is unforgivable .
Witness: Behavior is a mirror not only of thought, but of complex processes that move in the conscious mind and then filter quickly to turn into behavior, and you do not feel all these processes
There is a type of ant that builds nests made of leaves.
To build a nest, some of these ants pull the edges of two leaves together and hold them in place, while others hold the caterpillar in their jaws and sew it together with the silk they secrete. This is certainly a complex engineering feat, but it is not a cultural one. This behavior is instinctive, built into the mechanisms of ant behavior. They can't change their plans or think of better ways to join the sheets. They cannot be taught or taught to do this, but there are examples of animals that can learn behaviors, such as dogs and cats. A dog does not instinctively know not to urinate or defecate indoors, but it can be taught not to. Dogs are capable of learning certain behaviours.
Concepts, generalizations, abstractions and ideas
For a dog to acquire a behavior satisfies one culture requirement, but it also fulfills another. If you were to take a dog that has learned not to walk away from home to a different home, it still knows not to urinate there. This is because the dog has generalized. She knows not to urinate or defecate in any home, not just the one where she studies. However, this behavior makes only two of the four requirements.
Co-behavior through transmission outside of genes
For a behavior to be considered cultural, it must be shared outside the neighbourhood; This means that it must be taught. If a trained dog is introduced to a puppy who does not know not to urinate in the house, he cannot teach him not to. A particularly intelligent puppy might eventually get used to not being eliminated in people's homes by observing the older dog, but no active education was possible.
Compare this with a group of observed macaques
Some scientists wanted to learn about the eating behaviors of macaques, so they put some sweet potatoes on the beach near where they live. The sweet potato became sandy, and because the monkeys didn't like dirty food, they would spend some time picking up the sand. One of the young women began to take the potatoes to the fresh water pond to rinse them.
And I showed others how to do it too
The scientists then threw wheat on the sand, hoping the monkeys would spend more time picking the food so they would have more time to observe them. The same young woman just took a handful of wheat and sand and threw it into the water. The sand sank and the wheat floated, so I ate it. This practice also quickly spread across the group. This is what humans would call proto-cultural behaviour. It is learned, includes concepts and generalizations, and is taught. There is only one thing missing.
Concrete and abstract artifacts
Cultural behavior must include the use of artefacts. The most famous example in the animal world is the termite stick. Chimpanzees in Tanzania have learned to catch termites from their nests with sticks. They choose a stick and adjust it to fit an opening in the termite nest, insert it, shake it and pull it, and eat the termites that attacked the stick and stuck to it. This fits our standards of cultural behaviour. It is not genetically programmed. Not all chimpanzees do this, as would happen if it were incorporated into the chimpanzee's genes. It involves many complex generalizations and ideas, including understanding termite behavior and how to exploit it, and conceiving a tool to do so. It is taught by mother chimps to their offspring. It involves the use of an artifact: the wand itself.

The physical factors
Some physical factors are responsible for social change. Society suffers a lot due to natural disasters like flood, hurricane, famine, earthquake, volcanic eruption and war. These factors cause a significant change in the location, size and population of a society. The old civilization ended and a new civilization emerged due to this change.
The factors of cultural diffusion No society is isolated from external contacts. One culture influences another. This cultural diffusion is responsible for the development of Western civilization. Due to the mixture of different cultures like Hindu, Muslim, Christian etc. it has brought about a huge change in lifestyle in every society. Today we find the influences of Western culture in almost all aspects of our lives - our food, our clothes, our manners, our education, our literature, and so on.
The political factors Politics plays a vital role in bringing about social change. The state and the central government change the rules and regulations for people in order to change the social pattern. Different political parties with their ideologies bring about social change across the country. Empowerment of women, abuse of women, prohibition of child marriage, reduction of child labour, education system etc. passed in legislation bring about social change.
