Inspiring culture

          What is culture ? Culture is in the words " that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society . " Culture is a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social  learning in human societies The word is used in a general sense as the evolved ability to categorize and represent experiences with symbols and to act imaginatively and creatively. 

          The culture that inspires me is the Japanese culture . Japanese culture has evolved greatly over the millennia, from the country's prehistoric Jomon period, to its contemporary hybrid culture, which combines influences from Asia, Europe , and North America . The reason of Japanese culture inspires me is that the Japanese culture always gives the feeling of natural and convenient to me . 

          How does the culture help with the design of classroom ? Well, it is simple actually as I have looked back the ancient culture of Japan and compare it with the contemporary culture of Japan . The comparison between both of the periods of Japanese culture is important because the more I compare , the more the differences and similarities I will get known . By studying the Japanese culture, my opinion is that the implementation of Japanese ancient culture is good to let the students who have born and grown up in the contemporary era to known more about it . For instance , the Shoji Door can be used in stead of the normal classroom doors . More ever , the low-tables and the low-chairs with the cushions can be used in stead of the normal height tables and chairs . These are the kinds of traditional living styles that the students supposed to get known . All these will be fresh to them .
