Creating A Better Culture for Change

Creating a Better Culture for Change involves keeping Haitian values that are intrinsic to human desires and needs, renewing those that have been forgotten or ill-practiced, and developing new ones to create a new Haiti for generations to come. New attitudes must be formed or shaped to allow the formation of a united group that can then deal with the work ahead for Haiti to ultimately shape human progress.

 

A definition of culture was given above. Another definition of culture is the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. If close attention is paid to the above definitions, ideas and visions can be created that can inspire and move the Haitian people to greatness.
