"Fine-tuning culture" - Do we have the right to "edit" cultural practices? Read between the lines - Africa

- 個人ジャーナル
Culture is about patterns of life and living together, including how we treat key life events like: birth, marriage, entering adulthood, funerals and so on. But does culture need to be edited? Can it be improved? Or is there meant to be left unchanged, because it has already stood the test of time? Heritage is about our past, culture is about the patterns we carry on today. Are we supposed to preserve culture or try to improve it?
