Culture and Civilization

·       What is the relation between Culture and Civilization?

·       Are they the same meaning? Or what?

I think there is a difference between Culture and Civilization.

·   Civilization is more wideness than Culture, it is the comprehensive result of the complementary efforts of the human communities throughout the history.

·   In one word, it is a cumulative fruit of the continuous action throughout of the succession of the human generations.

·  Civilization is founded generally, on tow pillars, cultural pillar and material pillar.

·   From the material side, I believe there is only one building of the human civilization.

So, I believe that we are in front of a cumulative civilization; consist of a divers civilized unites, every unite belongs a certain nation in the course of the human history.

·       But what is the difference between the civilized unites?

·       Are they similar? Or what?

I think they are not similar, they are certainly, different. But the question that imposes itself is, How can we differentiate between the civilized unites? What is the doctrine of differentiation between it?  

·  I think that the culture is the only standard to distinguish between the civilizations.

·   So, any nation is progressed in its culture, undoubtedly, it is progressed in its civilization.

·  In one word, the cultural progress means progress of the civilization, because the culture is the soul of the civilization; So, any nation is underdeveloped in its culture it is certainly, is retreating in its civilization.

·   On other hand, collapsing of culture means collapsing of civilization; this is a truth that the contemporary and the human history ratify and assure it.
