INSTRUCTION AND DELIVERY

Culture and society are two closely related
concepts. For culture to exist and to be
developed, it needs human interaction. It
needs people to interact with one another,
and it needs people to practice it
continuously. Without society practicing
their common culture, the culture may cease
to exist.
Culture is also essential to society because,
without culture, society will be dull and will
not continue to thrive.
A society without culture is like a body
without soul and vice versa.
