Hi, students! Welcome back to Primary 4 National Values Education. In our previous lesson, we learned about Marriage Problems And Their Solutions. Today, we’re going to learn about the Elements of Culture.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify four elements of culture.

Elements of Culture
Culture is a way of life for a group of people. It includes their beliefs, customs, traditions, and values. There are many elements of culture, and some of them include:
- Food: What people eat is a big part of their culture. Different cultures have different foods, cooking methods, and eating habits. For example, in Nigeria, we have a variety of dishes like Jollof rice, Fufu, and Egusi soup.
- Dressing: The clothes people wear can tell us a lot about their culture. Different cultures have different styles of clothing, and they may wear certain clothes for special occasions. For example, in some cultures, women wear veils, while in others, they wear saris.
- Language: Language is a key part of culture. It allows people to communicate with each other and share their ideas and beliefs. Different cultures have different languages, and sometimes, even within a country, there are different dialects.
- Religion: Religion is a set of beliefs and practices that people follow. It can influence many aspects of their lives, including their food, clothing, and holidays. Some major religions in the world include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
- Festivals: Festivals are special events that celebrate important events or traditions. They can be religious, cultural, or seasonal. Some examples of festivals include Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, and Diwali.
Understanding these elements helps us respect and appreciate different cultures.
