Design Culture and Language


Culture has been defined as an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends on the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning according to Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluchhohn in Culture a critical review of Concepts and Definitions. Design is the planning that lays the basis of everything. Another name for design is engineering of which there are different aspects of design. Language is a system of communication shared between people in the same region. Culture and Language work together in a way to allow design to occur. Culture is what causes things to been designed and influences why and how it is designed. Language allows people in their culture to communicate and initiates the discussion of how a design will be carried out. Altogether there is a power in language that allows the culture to communicate and design and engineer things for a better world.
