From my own point of view, I believe that the concept of “Culture” has to do with the quantity of traditions, beliefs and behaviours that communities have to face their daily lives and problems. Culture helps world communitites to be recognized and differentiated from others.
Every kind of community has its own culture, without minding how educated they are or how much cognitive knowledge they have acquired. Even a community with no oral language has a culture too, which makes that community be well known for that characteristic.
On the other hand, I think that the culture that every place has, transforms it into a civilization. Inside a civilisation, people establish some rules and patterns, based on their own culture. Acivilisationis in some way, the manner in which a group of people live and manage their culture.
We usually tend to remember a civilisation that existed in the past, by studying what kind of bahaviour they had, how they used to live, where and what did they do to surviive. In others word we remember a vivilisation by the culture that it had. In addittion a civilisation is recognized to have existed in a determined period of time.
Now, according to the concept of “critical thinking”, I feel that this is a way of seeing ideas, facts or thoughts in a form that we can give opinions and arguments to improve or refuse them. When we are able to see the mistakes tha something or someone and look for a solution, we are thinking critically and in a useful manner.
Most civilisations have inserted in their culture, the conduct of being always criticizing other, but without giving a better option. That is why they are not believed to have cirtical thinking.
I believe that I, as a future teacher, should improve my ways to think critically, and see not only what is bad with my pupils and leave them to keep on mistaking, but also help them to find a solution to be better people and become, at the same time, ciritical thinkers as well.
