Culture and Human Development Educational and Psychological Perspectives

Education and culture are interrelated, the best way for a society to understand and develop it's culture is through education. But problems arise in multicultural societies where the various components of culture be it language, behaviour, food, music, dance, activities etc are very rich but also very heterogeneous. In such societies, a standardised urbanised curriculum in education doesn't work and creates stress and anxiety for children. The paper explains this behaviour of children with the help of Kurt Lewin's field theory and suggests how to address the various components of the theory for positive behaviour through CBE or Culture Based Education.
