I just have a discussion with a friend about the western culture and African culture, He point out that we have the best culture than the western world, which I disagree. He mention the "African greetings", "respect for elder" and the likes as what makes us superior, when compare with the way the it is are down there.

When i check the elementary definition of culture, it is define as "the total way of life of people, which include language, food, dress, religion and social life'. therefore, if by the kids not respecting their elder is there culture, and they have result for it (development) and we that have that respect, we are still under develop, i think the culture that is producing result is better. what do you think?

Western Culture is better. Btw im a pro african, by that doesnt make me blind.

Let's try this: What are the first four things that come to mind when you think "African Culture"? What are the first four things you associate with "African Culture"?

I would define culture as: a set of rules and procedures for solving problems and meeting needs.

You don't have a culture for the sake of having it – its primary aim is to solve problems. I will also add that there is a strong correlation between Language and Culture. When a culture no longer solves problems to meet the needs of the participants it must be transformed. The transformation will be based on solving those needs. If people abandon there culture they will die, why because they are no longer meeting their needs or solving the problems that confront them.
