The word culture when applied to societies is adopted from ‘cultivation’ or tillage of land. It also implies having learned the best practices to produce healthy crops and enrichment of property. With societies culture has come to mean the same thing, an enrichment of the group based on the traditions leading to achievements of its people. OK. So does Iran forbid people from dancing in public because not dancing in public is part of Iranian culture, or do they forbid it because the Iranian legislators feel that dancing in public, regardless of its traditional place in Iranian culture, is unIslamic? I think its an entirely religious law designed to force Iranians behave in the way that the Iranian lawmakers feel is more Islamic, and the law has zero to do with traditional Iranian culture. Zero.
