What it is meant by culture and civilization?

What it is meant by culture and civilization?

The concept of "culture associated with training, configuration, maintenance and development of a knowledge and powers, configuration, maintenance and development of a knowledge and powers, which alone does not progress, but rather degrade.

Culture is the development of the possibilities that exist in power in nature, through intelligent action of the man who follows the laws of nature. One could also say that it is the creative activity of man in nature. Only from this concept they have been formed and are intelligible terms: agriculture, horticulture, fruit growing, aquaculture.

The man has managed to trees or plants which are grown only in certain places, are adapted to various other conditions, which may not bear fruit under natural conditions. By crosses and graft it to do some very vulnerable plants resistant to certain pests, and that these do not affect them. It has also been achieved in many cases enhance productivity and increase the nutricional properties of multiple agricultural products.

Indeed, it is a natural disposition of God that man believes values ​​that rise above everyday life and their needs, which sits worthwhile sacrifice, seeing that are meant to last and work beyond the ephemeral, making life worthy of its name.

Thus God allows man to participate in his wonderful creative action.
