10. Concepts of Culture and Liberalism
CULTURE
➢ It is derived from the Latin term
"colere," which means “till the
ground” or “to cultivate.”
➢ It can be defined as all the ways of
life, including arts, beliefs, and
institutions, of a population that can
be shared and learned.
“Culture is something that binds us towards the
greatest appreciation of individual differences.”
11. ➢ It is derived from the Latin word
“liber”, which means ‘free’.
➢ Thus, it stood for the end of
autocracy and clerical privileges
and rooted for a government
based on the consent of the
people.

equal rights, making sure that no one is left behind.”

19. Generalization
➢ To put it simply, cultural liberalism can be understood in the words of Henry
David Thoreau, specifically in his famous statement, "to march to the beat of a
different drummer".
➢ This simply means that "to march to the beat of a different drummer" signifies to
act independently and to behave differently than what is expected or is the norm.
➢ Taking all these factors into consideration, someone who “marches to his own
beat” is a person who is not constrained by social norms or rules.
