CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN THE WORLD AND IN MEXICO, AS WELL AS THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERCULTURAL COEXISTENCE

Culture is the heritage of accumulated social teaching, shared and transmitted by a community; therefore it comes all creations and representations produced by humans throughout history in any place or region of the planet. Culture is shaped by the mindset, values, religion, customs, eating habits, symbols, legends and myths, as well as by material Works, technology, ways in which production is organized, currency system (dollars, euros, pesos, etc), social and political institutions, and the set of laws that govern a society.

TRADITIONAL CULTURES

A traditional culture transmits and shares its customs, lifestyle, values and feelings as faithful as possible to future generations. Those who receive this legacy are obliged to respect what is transmitted and not modify it to inherit it to their children.

CONTEMPORARY CULTURES

Contemporary cultures are defined not only by language, religion, literature and other art forms and customary practices. Today, the contemporary culture of a person is a complex tissue composed of remnants of traditional culture and numerous fragments of modern life that spread through television, film and other media and are integrated through fashion, points of view and certain social behaviors associated with show business, sports and music personalities.

EMERGING CULTURES

 Emerging Cultures are the results of social expressions from different human groups in the world and in Mexico that are not traditional, but have not fully integrated to contemporary cultures either. In essence, they seek to build and identity that stands out from other conventional social manifestations.
