What is the difference between culture and Civilization? Civilization denotes utilitarian things used as apparatus. To understand the term ‘culture’ clearly it would be desirable to distinguish it from civilization. Writers have many different concepts of civilization.
Modern civilisation is totally different from the times of yore in many respects in the mode and manner of living, in the nature and intensity of social and family ties, in the means of earning livelihood, the variety of food and in other matters.
The Indian civilization is a role model for the other civilizations of the world. The materialistic civilization of the West is borne down by its own ills, its apotheosis of power and wealth. In spite of its splendor it is all vain. Indian civilization has its moorings in its philosophy, in spirituality, in ethics, in its religion.
Modern civilization has developed with the invention of wheel and all the tools are being made out of iron. All the machines, things of daily use in our lives like fans, car, scooter, chair, etc. are made with iron.
We believe that we live in a wonderful era, an era of all round progress. We think that we have excelled and surpassed our forefathers in almost every respect.
In this era of the steam engine, motor car, electric locomotive and aeroplane, it may be hard even to think how difficult it was to travel two hundred years ago. In India, the bullock cart bumped, carriages often sank as the axles got buried in mud, trying to negotiate a narrow side-track.
We mean by civilization a way of life in which the wilder passions of humanity are restrained, the nobler instincts and inclinations are developed and allowed to prevail.
Civilization denotes utilitarian things used as apparatus. To understand the term 'culture' clearly it would be desirable to distinguish it from civilization. Writers have many different concepts of civilization. Civilization is considered to have begun at the time of writing and the advent of metals.
