Abstract

The future of culture is an essential and challenging issue such that the fate of culture in the future is closely tied to human destiny, which emphasizes the importance of the human future. Humans struggle with itself, evil, and getting away from human origin could destroy his culture and future.
In this paper, the culture refers to the nature of culture instead of a material experience interpreted as civilization. Lexical correspondence of Persian literature with other languages demonstrates that the term Kulture synonymous with the culture in the Persian literature may not embrace the issue of culture future and perspective. This lexical difference could reveal different worldviews of multiple cultures such as Shiite- Iranian and Christian-European culture not only determining human fate in another tomorrow, but also influencing the future of their own culture.


The relation of culture and civilization is the same as the relation of the interior and the appearance which are united in detail. But historical surroundings and aristocracy are more understood by culture than civilization. At the same time, one can regard culture and afresh as two distinct or longitudinal attributes specific to the human being, which distinguishes him as a divine being from other beings. In this case, culture in its general sense - which is synonymous with culture, and in Arabic they are called "crocodile" - is at a lower level in the culture of the human sense of being.
