Description
INTRODUCTION Culture is essential for humans because it is a collective consciousness of each society, it includes beliefs, knowledge, languages, art, customs and traditions. The culture of each society results from the way of life of people which they learnt from nature, other societies and accumulated their experience for adapting, transmitting and changing according to the changes of situations so it is dynamic (Talang, 1993). This is congruent with the concept of Kanchana Kaewthep (1982), she writes that culture is the way and the pattern of life of people in each community which has been accumulated and practiced for a long time, it includes knowledge which people have created, determined and maintained from generation to generation, culture forms itself into knowledge, practice, beliefs and manmade-objects. Phraya Anuman Ratchathon (1988) writes about it that culture divides into 2 types are these: (1) material culture and (2) spiritual culture. Material culture relate to physical needs which enhance a quality of life; for example the four requisites of life, vehicles, utensils and weapons. Spiritual culture relate to the things which encourage intellectual and spiritual growth; for example education, religions, ethics, art, literature, laws and customs
