| dc.description.abstract | Culture is the whole of moral and material values such as language, religion and history consciousness transmitted from one generation to another created by society in time (Poyraz, 2014, p. 210). At the same time, culture forms the living and thinking style of a society in addition to its common identity. Cultural development brings political, economic and social development with it. Art is another significant element of culture; art is the statement of a feeling, a work or a design (Papuççu, 2014, p. 391). Cultural heritage is transmitted to future generations through art. Existence of individuals with a strong sense of art and aesthetics will enable the support of a whole community. What makes human beings different from other living creatures is the culture it produces. Culture is a philosophy of life, a way of living it. Music, food, religion, belief, art, literature, technology and consciousness of history are the elements of culture. All these cultural heritages are the basic elements of development thrust. A development movement that is not based on national culture will surely fail. Stepping into the future with a society that has an identity, a personality, a national and moral consciousness will make things easier. Such a social form can only be accomplished with the contribution of a whole society. Thanks to the intense cultural activities, common moral values of a society will be supported and that society will get stronger as it will have a stronger common national identity and national solidarity. The goal of this article is to determine the state of culture and to draw a future road map in order to present future sense of movement. | en_US |
