Culturally advanced people may not necessarily be civilised if there is lack of rationality, reasoning and control. Similarly, a so-called culturally backward people may not necessarily be socially backward. From ancient times we have struggled against obstacles. Struggle is the essence of life. With intellectual development there is cultural progress, but restraint and rationality have to be exercised on cultural expressions. Hence the need for constructive ideology that engenders evolution of advanced civilisations.
