Introduction
The growing trend demonstrates that civilisation and culture are inseparable and are keenly involved with the human behaviour as well as characteristics. Civilisation and culture attribute to life in the same way, but differ at different contexts regarding the human lifestyle as well as standard of living. Culture is the yardstick to determine a special group of people separated with regard to small areas, while the civilisation requires a vast geographic area with people with same characteristics art and skills. Further, it can be clarified on the basis of culture differentiating different groups of people within the same civilisation. But it is usual instance that humans have a proneness to lose their culture when the civilisation advances. There is no exception in the present age to follow the same practice from the Old Stone Age civilisation.
Culture
The term ‘culture’ has significant impression on deciding the approach of human life. Food, clothing and shelter are inclusive to our culture. Languages, art and architecture, dance and music, the various customs, religions and rituals vary from region to region. The cultural significance for, however, a country uniquely presents its culture. The hoary tradition and heritage of a country demonstrates its historical significance and enriches its culture. The culture represents the prestige of a nation by displaying the mentality of the people as well as the proneness of the human beings living in the region.
Civilisation
Civilisation too is equally significant to the humans of a particular place, region or country. Civilisation denotes the manner of living including the social behaviour and performance of people, the abstract inclinations of the human components, and the utilisation and development of the artificial and natural technologies. Civilisation is constantly changing with time. The evolution process cannot be experienced while living in the age. If we read the history right from the Old Stone Age to the modern age of Nuclear and Cyber civilisation, we can vividly realise the alterations in the civilisation. Our growth began in the metal age which we have left far behind even beyond the reach of our ancestors’ memory, and are in the course of inclusion from the electronic age to the cyber era.
The simple division of the world into different civilisations on the basis of the various differentiating factors assemble the population of the entire world in the single gridiron when we start discussing history with regard to developing civilisation and culture. The civilisation that has been constantly developing certainly created calderas in the surface of culture which leads to confusion in diverse looks and aspects.
various fields Affected by the Rapid Growth of the Civilisation
Agriculture
Food is our fundamental requirement of life and it is largely based on agriculture the driving force of any civilisation. Agriculture has been the only means of food, since the dawn of civilisation, for the humans who began growing different food crops. However, with the advancement of age, he developed the habit of eating flesh and now the existing generation has developed tendency to ignore this vital field. Agriculture has developed in parallel to science significantly but unexpectedly the modern generation young men are indifferent to this sector of farming and providing food to the society. Despite appraisal and respect to the farmers like God, for their contribution to feeding the people throughout the nation, they have appeared valueless and regardless in the minds of Modern sophisticated younger generation.
Industrialisation
The process of industrialisation and its rapid growth is one of the most responsible factors for the deterioration of our culture. The adaptation of the industrial sector in the civilisation has created greater employment opportunities and in parallel to it the arrival of the MNCs in the different developing nations has resulted in the use of the manpower throughout the world. The utilisation of the human resource i.e. the manpower has enhanced the value of brain power for growth of the economy of the developed countries and it is considered ‘brain drain’ by the developing as well as the under developed countries which have proved failure to value the manpower for the lack of adequate financial support. Moreover, industrialisation has also caused the considerable decline of the small scale as well as cottage industries, the traditional part of the culture. The home-made products and the handicrafts could not compete with the machine made products regardless of clothing, edibles, and other utilities of everyday life.
Society
The act of togetherness is the predominant part of society as well as human behaviour. Naturally, the bond and interaction of humans with the biotic and the abiotic species in the environment is greatly important. In a word, these factors are the significant part of the culture. The culture hints at the firm connection with regard to the togetherness, affection in festivities and celebrations which are the primary family values of agreement and unity. The radical change and evolution of it into the small units of nuclear family patterns are gradually losing the flavour of warmth and affection.
In this advanced civilisation of modern, people have discovered a fake prestige by mimicking the trendy speech of the English language disregarding and neglecting the natural pride of using their own dialect and languages. It is now a common instance that people often seem to be unable to communicate with each other in their own language though they have good knowledge of their mother tongue. They are ashamed of speaking their own language.
Lifestyle Regarding Clothing and Standard of Living
Our lifestyle has developed from the ancient age of earthen pots to the modern age of stainless steel for the microwave, and plastic utensils. Our clothing has also evolved considerably from the covered clothing to the undue exposure that leads to the over socialisation, attraction and cases of increasing sexual abuse. Medical science has advanced from the obsolete home remedies to the advanced medical dimension, but we have unfortunately failed to perceive the value of home remedies as well as the nutritious food items, and even the usage of earthen pots.
The advanced sophisticated technologies like television, air-conditioner, social media, internet and various telecommunicating devices have developed the artificial pride in us by arresting our attention to their fascinating usages simultaneously we don’t care to acknowledge its adversely negative effects for both human beings and the atmosphere.
The sports, like cricket and other lots of games and sports, have increased craziness among people. As a consequence, people prefer to enjoy watching sports as an audience and are not interested to engage themselves in the physical activities. Despite the automated devices for physical exercise and even for walking, for instance, tread mill, developed by the advanced civilisation, people do not have enough time to apply their abilities to these valuable requirements governing their health.
Conclusion
Finally, it is evident that the context demands the value of culture in contrast to the advancing civilisation. There are innumerable instances and activities with regard to enlisting the importance of the growing civilisation by constant provision of comfort to the humans and calming the lifestyle. Undoubtedly, the adverse and irreparable impacts of the rapidly evolving civilisation are discovered in the ‘hole we have created in the ozone layer’. The vandalisation to our culture is really distressing. Still it is high time to consider the greater and long-lasting values of our ancient culture as well as strictly follow the immortal values in them and integrate them in our day-to-day life.
