Summary

Objectives of the course
This course is going to introduce you to some of the debates on culture and development. In order to keep this course on a manageable scope for a semester we shall restrict ourselves to some key aspects of culture whose relationship to development may be more or less self-evident. By the end of this course you should be able to:
1. Define the concepts of culture, development and underdevelopment;
2. Outline the main dimensions of culture and discuss their relationship with development;
3. Discuss technology as a cultural artifact and the role it plays in a society’s development;
4. Discuss society’s politics and legal framework as cultural dimensions and the role they play in development;
5. Evaluate economic institutions as cultural components and their place in development;
6. Analyze the institutional framework of society as an aspect of its culture and the impact of this framework on development; and
7. Assess the place of identity, aesthetics as cultural expressions and how they impact on development.

TOPIC ONE: CONCEPTS OF CULTURE 1.1 Introduction
As you already know, the concept “culture” is central to both the disciplines of sociology and anthropology. Culture provides the blueprint for all activities in a society. Culture is learned and it is passed on from generation to generation. Indeed, it is culture that distinguishes humans from all other animals.
As the foundation of all life’s activities it follows that development, in whatever way we may choose to define it, is ultimately influenced to a greater or lesser extent by culture. Development is a form of social change that is aimed at improving the quality of life of members of a society. As such it implies a positive change in the lives of members of a society.
Inevitably, culture has a big role in determining what constitutes a positive change as opposed to undesirable changes. It is also culture that prescribes the socially acceptable ways of realizing that change.
