Opis

Human is the best creation of this universe where the most unique feature of all humans is their culture. Culture is not organic, it is materialistic in nature and the culture of humans, in general, has developed over a period of time. It has been observed in the history of mankind that with the invention and development of power, energy and technology, the culture of humans has also changed and developed. If it is considered for the people of urban area the change and development of culture is gradual, and sometimes, dramatic in nature. However, conducting researches in urban areas is more difficult than that of the rural areas and demand high motivations and indepth study by the anthropologists. From this point of view the work for this book has been done to understand the nature of change and development of culture of urban people as a whole focusing power, energy and technology. It is believed that this will help the academicians and others to think about the nature of urban culture.
