Write down the main and controlling idea of the given text.
Main Idea:
Controlling idea:
Culture, in human societies, has two main aspects; an external, formal aspect and an inner,
ideological aspect. The external forms of culture, social or artistic, are merely an organized
expression of its inner ideological aspect, and both are an inherent component of a given
social structure. They are changed or modified when this structure. They are changed and
modified when this structure is changed or modified and because of this organic link they
also help and influence such changes in their parent organism. Cultural Problems, therefore,
cannot be studied or understood or solved in isolation from social problems, i.e. problems of
political and economic relationships. The cultural problems of the underdeveloped countries,
therefore, have to be understood and solved in the light of larger perspective, in the context of
underlying social problems. Very broadly speaking, these problems are primarily the problems of arrested growth; they originate primarily from long years of imperialistColonialist domination and the remnants of a backward outmoded social structure. This
should not require much elaboration European Imperialism caught up with the countries of
Asia, Africa or Latin America between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some of them
were fairly developed feudal societies with ancient traditions of advanced feudal culture.
Others had yet to progress beyond primitive pastoral tribalism. Social and cultural
development of them all was frozen at the point of their political subjugation and remained
frozen until the coming of political independence. The culture of these ancient feudal
societies, in spite of much technical and intellectual excellence, was restricted to a small
privileged class and rarely intermingled with the parallel unsophisticated folk culture of the
general masses. Primitive tribal culture, in spite of its child like beauty, had little intellectual
content. Both feudal and tribal societies living contagiously in the same homelands were
constantly engaged in tribal, racial and religious or other feuds with their tribal and feudal
rivals. Colonialist – imperialist domination accentuated this dual fragmentation, the vertical
division among different tribal and national groups, the horizontal division among different
classes within the same tribal or national groups. This is the basic ground structure, social and
cultural, bequeathed to the newly liberated countries by their former
