In Singapore, the multi-racial and multi-cultural society, it is often appreciated and envied by many foreigners.However how many people really know about their own culture. Singapore is a modern and developed country. Many citizens focus a lot on their knowledge and skill development. They are more concern about their future, and often forget to look at what their culture is.In my opinion, Culture is equvilent to one race or nations beginnings. It tells us a lot on how our race 'behaviours' evolve. There is a saying:"For without culture or holiness, which are always the gift of a very few, a man may renounce wealth or any other external thing, but he cannot renounce hatred, envy, jealousy, revenge. Culture is the sanctity of the intellect." [William Butler Yeats]It is therefore important for everyone to know and understand his or her culture, as it is something that belong to us from the beginning. If the individual does not want to recognise what belongs to him or her it would therefore be meaningless for him or her to pursue other things.Done by: CindyLabels: Culture
