The development trend of British traditional culture

Characteristics of British traditional culture;

Strong religious color. Britain is a highly developed capitalist country. In Britain, everyone has the right to believe in religion, and society and the government are not allowed to interfere. Others can change their religious beliefs at will, and they can express their beliefs in sermons, worship and ceremonies.

The aristocratic hierarchy. There has always been an obvious hierarchy in British society, and the aristocratic hierarchy has always had a decisive influence in Britain, so that it is still called "the century of nobility" for more than 100 years after the bourgeois revolution.

Free culture. In Britain, we often see some students doing wild behaviors. For example, they will sit on the roadside at night, drinking and chatting. For example, they will laugh when they walk.

An important feature of the historical evolution of British traditional culture is the great coherence of its cultural traditions, which inevitably leads the British to adhere to a traditional view, that is, to respect the wisdom and achievements of the past and to respect the system and lifestyle that contain tradition.
