Why do country’s politicians not wish to improve people’s cultural standards

Everyone will admit that the standard of culture is not rising; rather, it is in steady decline. It is not that culture is never spoken of, but it is not discussed with the importance it deserves.

Economics forms its foundation, but geography, human relationships, understanding of nature, values, customs, education, food habits, art and literature—nothing is excluded. Civilisation itself is a part of culture. In short, culture is the self-identity of a people. This identity is more trustworthy than any other. Education is often called the backbone of a nation, but in truth it is not education, it is culture. Education itself is a rightful part of culture.

Collective awareness key to prevent air pollution

According to a research report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the number of lung cancer cases among non-smokers is rising due to air pollution.
