The cultural values of a community give it an identity of its own. A community gains a character and a personality of its own, because of the culture of its people. Culture is shared by the members of a community. It is learned and passed from the older generations to the newer ones. For an effective transfer of culture from one generation to another, it has to be translated into symbols. Language, art and religion serve as the symbolic means of transfer of cultural values between generations.

Culture is a bond that ties the people of a region or community together. It is that one common bond, which brings the people of a community together. The customs and traditions that the people of a community follow, the festivals they celebrate, the kind of clothing they wear, the food they eat, and most importantly, the cultural values they adhere to, bind them together.

Culture is seen as a system of social control, wherein people shape their standards and behavior. The cultural values form the founding principles of one's life. They influence one's principles and philosophies of life. They influence one's way of living and thus impact social life.

The importance of culture lies in the fact that it is a link between people and their value systems.]]> http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/672/what-is-culture/ Thu, 04 Sep 2014 23:36:00 +0000 Joyce Owens http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/671/a-few-words-about-stress/ While we cannot always change or eliminate the things that trigger stress in our lives we can make a conscious effort to change our behaviors in response to these factors. We can say no to new responsibilities, or put limits to what we take on. We can take care of our bodies by healthful eating, drinking plenty of water, and exercising. We can use various stress reduction strategies such as setting aside some quiet time for ourselves, adding humor to our day, visiting with friends, or getting a massage.
Stress-causing situations may be common place in our fast-paced society but this doesn't mean that we have to accept their consequences as a fact of life. This is where exercising our personal power to take control and either change the conditions or our response to situations can make all the difference.]]> http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/671/a-few-words-about-stress/ Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:24:02 +0000 Joyce Owens http://www.writerq.com/mobile/Joycie/ http://www.writerq.com/mobile/Joycie/ Fri, 08 Aug 2014 02:48:34 +0000 Joyce Owens http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/205/little-brown-book/ 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh d53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh 53453453453yry rh dfgh dfh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfh dfgh df dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh fh dfh dfh dfghdftyherty dtj k ghj fgj sdgh dfgh dfgh ghk jdfgh dfgh ghjh dfgh dfhj dfgh dfgh dt dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh dfgh hj gj fhj dfgh rfgh fgh dfgh fgh http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/205/little-brown-book/ Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:22:46 +0000 Joyce Owens http://www.writerq.com/mobile/Joycie/ http://www.writerq.com/mobile/Joycie/ Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:20:17 +0000 Joyce Owens
