Freedom, a need of humans, all. Darwin, predicted this in his theory. -an AXIOM in Survival of the Fittest- US, in fighting terrorist dreams comfused with reality, are surviving to their destruction to America and multi religious nations... "Their garments of pitch, and fire shall enwrap their faces-" "This is a message for mankind that they may thereby be warned" from the Koran, Verse 14 no. 50... Iran behold on this, and their 72 virgens... they dear for the Atomic Bomb!

Humans: Culture and Social Conducts, as to explain idiots' behaviours.
Humans: Culture and Social Conducts
In social terms.
A Comprehensive Examination
Culture and social conducts are two fundamental aspects that define humanity. They give shape to societies, influence behaviors, and foster connections among individuals. This document delves into the intricacies of human culture and social conducts, exploring their origins, manifestations, and significance.
Understanding Culture
Culture encompasses the beliefs, customs, arts, and institutions of a society. It is a dynamic and evolving phenomenon, passed down through generations and constantly shaped by external influences and internal innovations.
Origins of Culture
The roots of human culture can be traced back to our earliest ancestors. As Homo sapiens evolved, so did their need for communication, cooperation, and social organization. These needs gave rise to the development of language, rituals, and shared practices, which laid the foundation for culture.
Components of Culture
Culture is multifaceted and comprises various elements:
• Language: The primary medium through which cultural knowledge is transmitted. It enables communication, storytelling, and the preservation of history.
• Beliefs and Values: These are the core principles that guide behavior and decision-making within a society. They often derive from religious, philosophical, or ideological systems.
• Customs and Traditions: Established practices and rituals that are performed regularly and hold symbolic meaning. They reinforce social bonds and cultural identity.
• Arts and Literature: Creative expressions that reflect a society's experiences, thoughts, and emotions. They include visual arts, music, dance, literature, and theater.
• Institutions: Structured organizations that govern various aspects of society, such as family, education, religion, and governance.
Social Conducts
Social conducts refer to the behaviors and norms that are considered acceptable within a society. They are the unwritten rules that guide interactions and maintain social order.
Formation and Enforcement of Social Conducts
Social conducts are shaped by cultural values, historical contexts, and social structures. They are learned through socialization, a process whereby individuals internalize the norms and values of their society. Families, educational institutions, peer groups, and media play pivotal roles in this process.
Enforcement of social conducts occurs through various mechanisms:
• Formal Mechanisms: Laws, regulations, and policies enacted by governing bodies to regulate behavior and ensure compliance.
• Informal Mechanisms: Social expectations and pressures exerted by peers, family, and the broader community to encourage conformity.
Types of Social Conducts
Social conducts vary widely across cultures, but they generally fall into several categories:
• Etiquette: Manners and behaviors deemed polite and respectful in social interactions. Etiquette varies by culture and context, covering areas such as greetings, dining, and communication.
• Morality: Principles concerning what is right and wrong. Moral conduct is often influenced by religious and philosophical beliefs.
• Role Expectations: Behaviors expected of individuals based on their social roles, such as gender roles, occupational roles, and familial roles.
• Customs: Traditional practices that are regularly observed and hold cultural significance. Examples include festivals, ceremonies, and rites of passage.
The Interplay Between Culture and Social Conducts
Culture and social conducts are deeply intertwined. Cultural values shape social conducts, while social conducts, in turn, reinforce and perpetuate cultural values.
Cultural Diversity and Social Conducts
The diversity of cultures around the world leads to a rich tapestry of social conducts. What is considered acceptable in one culture may be taboo in another. For example, eye contact is seen as a sign of confidence and attentiveness in some cultures, while it is considered disrespectful or confrontational in others.
Globalization and Cultural Exchange
Globalization has facilitated the exchange of cultural practices and social conducts across borders. This exchange can lead to cultural enrichment, as societies adopt and adapt foreign elements. However, it can also result in cultural homogenization and the erosion of traditional practices.
Conclusion
Human culture and social conducts are complex and multifaceted phenomena that shape our identities and interactions. They are the bedrock of society, fostering cohesion and continuity. Understanding and appreciating the diversity of cultures and social conducts is essential for promoting mutual respect and coexistence in an increasingly interconnected world.
Culture and social conducts are ever-evolving, influenced by historical events, technological advancements, and intercultural exchanges. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is crucial to remain mindful of our cultural heritage and the social norms that bind us together. Through this understanding, we can build a more inclusive and harmonious global community.
…so, after giving some explanation on “Cultures and Social conducts” I wish to go further on “human behaviours”.
In animals, all of them have a specific behaviour, such a thing is control by: hormones, needs, spontaneous response and education. Do I mean education in all animals? No, in this case is learnt behaviours just on humans. In other animals to infer as education, it is a learnt response such as the classical condition (visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning ). Humans (Homo sapiens), have both: “Natural culture and Educated culture.
Natural culture refers here, to the evolving of behaviour of a species in the Animal Kingdom, and the Educated culture in the human species learnt via specific training by way logic, reasoning and knowledge. The most complex one is the Homo sapiens one due to all the intervening forces of the environment while in in the rest of the animal kingdom, there is no Educated culture but hormone response lacking any Educated culture. This is why: the rest of the animal kingdom do not read or pay attention to comprehend the said by the tutors. Monkeys, for instance, response to nature survival that is less developed than humans survival and that is one of the theme why humans have been able to survive and dominate all kingdoms that in humans we call: reasonings.
To be continued.
