CULTURE, SOCIAL AND POLITICS, ARE THEY CONNECTED?

We are in a big turmoil.  The culture is going away to be replaced by the “celebrity system”, the social is omitted, the politicians are corrupted and do not listen to the people aspirations any more. What could be the ideal society?

Culture: Human creation and use of symbols and artefacts. Culture may be taken as constituting the “WAY OF LIFE” of an entire society. It is also what you learn at school and during your life.

Social:    Pertaining to human society and/or human interaction in organisations, groups. Concern with or responsible for the mutual relations and welfare of individuals. (Socialà actions, administration, economic, anthropology, banditry, category, change, class, closure, Darwinism, democracy, development, deviance, differentiation, evolution, equilibrium, history, indicators, integration, structure.)

Politics: The process with a state or organisation concerned with influencing the content and implementation of the goals, policies, governing people, etc.

Are those 3 elements connected to each other for a better society? They are connected but do not help to have a better society, the weakest link being the politics.

Is there any interaction between those elements and what are they? There is an interaction between social, culture and politics.  The social environment you live in has been “indoctrinated” by the politics and the culture may have been the head of the social environment.

Is it possible to imagine a nation without politics? It is utopia, however, if a society or nation wants to be without politics, they have to trust better their citizens and have them to really participate and contribute at every level to the society, having various “committees” and strong interaction and information, transparency and no corruption.  I can imagine it without difficulty but it is idealistic and not realistic.

Is the culture creating the social behaviour in a country or vice-versa? I believe the culture is the first mark of the social development and structure of a country.  However, culture changes and evolves so the social history will adapt to the new waves, and reforms will take place.  The social behaviour and social class will also have their stigma on the culture.
