Yet, laws alone do not sustain a culture. Nor do laws prevent a culture from collapsing. It is the cohesion brought about by culture - in regards to actions,beliefs and participation - that in many ways transcends the boundaries of the law that maintains cohesion in a society. A multi-cultural society my be cohesive (I'm thinking of Brazil as an example) and yet multi-culturism can tear at the cohesion of a society.Lexcenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856993035719777231noreply@blogger.com
