TRANSCRIPT
One important function of education is the preservation of culture. Continuity of man’s social life is possible through this process.
Culture has to be conserved and transmitted to the youth for their own benefits because past benefits are useful in learning the new ones.
LANGUAGEWithout language, culture among men would be wholly impossible.
The human being learned his language just as he learned his culture; man is not born with a language.
Language is distinctly human system of behavior based on oral symbols.
It is a special system if communication that is specifically oral and symbolic and it is learned.
