Cultural Open Spaces

 

What man does, thinks up, says and creates is culture. The word comes from Latin and actually means something like agriculture or arable farming. This is why we also say "agriculture" for agriculture or "aquaculture" for fish farming - culture is a term used in many different contexts.

One often speaks of the culture of a certain area or time or part of life: the early culture of Asia, religious culture, the culture of the ancient Egyptians or even the culture of Russia. What is meant by this is, for example, how people in Russia are dressed, what they like to read, what they do in their free time and so on. An advanced culture is a people or country in early antiquity that produced much, like Ancient Egypt.

It's also said of an individual person, "It has culture, it is cultured." This means that she has learned a lot, has good taste or can behave well.

Breaking the chains of old-fashioned dogmas creates a new, peaceful and just paradigm. Already in ancient Athens there was same-sex love. Homosexuality refers to the same sex love between men or women and the identities based on it – for example, defining oneself as lesbian or gay.

Sexual acts between men and between women can be found in all eras and cultures. As a social minority, they are still confronted with discrimination, denigration and social exclusion in many cultures – up to and including disenfranchisement and persecution.

Preserve cultural integrity and identity

Social inclusion is one of the biggest tasks of mankind to create harmony and a peaceful life among each other. We are all able to be aware of this task, to create a good relationship with each other in order to learn from each other and to feel accepted by the other. We learn to accept and thereby to grow beyond ourselves.

The big challenge with exclusion is that negative prejudices and opinions are formed. One example is cultural integrity.

The development of friendly relations may be encouraged.
Let yourself and others step out of your own comfort zone in order to rediscover something special or maybe even useful e.g. yourself.

There are many places and opportunities to meet and exchange commonalities and differences by attending public festivals and events.
