Question

Write short notes on social benefits of culture

Answer 1

Answer:

Participating in culture can benefit individuals in many different ways, some of which are deeply personal. They are a source of delight and wonder, and can provide emotionally and intellectually moving experiences, whether pleasurable or unsettling, that encourage celebration or contemplation. Culture is also a means of expressing creativity, forging an individual identity, and enhancing or preserving a community’s sense of place.

Cultural experiences are opportunities for leisure, entertainment, learning, and sharing experiences with others. footnote 3 [3] From museums to theatres to dance studios to public libraries, culture brings people together. footnote 4 [4]

These benefits are intrinsic to culture. They are what attracts us and why we participate.
