With the change of eras, generally accepted everyday traditions change and improve in different countries, and this continues to this day and will never end in the future, as long as people inhabit this planet. What is everyday culture?
From the point of view of terminology, everything is simple: everyday culture means the way of everyday life. By itself, everyday culture is a fairly broad concept that encompasses all social activities of a person without taking into account the production aspects of everyday life.
Naturally, each era leaves a huge imprint on everyday culture. Once a person was engaged in hunting and agriculture, using primitive tools for this, drew stones on the rocks, and now mankind daily uses complex devices that have burst into our life as evolution and scientific and technological progress. In addition, the everyday culture of different countries differs from each other depending on the standard of living, climate, religion, laws and other factors.
Speaking about everyday culture, images related to family life and household are first to come to mind. The dwelling satisfies the basic human needs for food, rest, safety and entertainment. Under serfdom in Russia, the common people lived in huts, slept on stoves, ate simple food, wore simple clothes and worked hard. Now the homes of many Russians are furnished with multifunctional furniture, almost every family has a computer or laptop, Internet access, mobile phones and newfangled gadgets no longer surprise anyone, and various household appliances help to manage the household. Clothes, cosmetics, food are sold in stores of the most diverse, for every taste and budget, and there is more than enough entertainment in the modern world.
Also, everyday culture is associated with the treatment of a person and the prevention of diseases, social and cultural life. Now the society possesses many knowledge, advantages and possibilities in comparison with the people of antiquity. In a word, the current everyday culture is quite developed, but this is far from the limit. Many scientists predict that in the future, human everyday culture will include robots that will take over all the daily duties of a person.
A well-established everyday culture of citizens is a guarantee of a prosperous state, since a person will not be able to work fruitfully and benefit society if he is now and then burdened by various problems that are part of the system of everyday culture.
