In the past years, words like innovation, creativity, and culture are thriving. So many new concepts are being introduced, and that might be confusing. So here is an essential introduction to CCI and the creative economy.

When it comes to creative and cultural industries, the most crucial part is to understand what defines those fields and whatnot because both concepts overlap although they are very different from each other. And for that, I would like to start by defining a very confusing term nowadays which is culture.

Definition of culture:

The ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society.

But unfortunately, this definition is incomplete as it doesn´t define what´s excluded from it. A Pakistani cultural critic by the name of I.A Rehman said that

Culture is what people practice not what they believe

Elements of culture:

  • What are our behaviors towards relationships?
  • How do we approach education?
