Abstract

There are many reasons to write about culture, we are assisted by the purpose of promoting reflection among teachers to help them become aware of the need to continue working in favor of it. This article was based on a bibliographical research, which was carried out from the use of inductive and deductive methods, synthetic analytical and documentary review, which allowed the authors to obtain the necessary information about culture and cultural identity. From different sources of information, reflect on the concepts and positions and arrive at the following conclusions: Culture has gradually been losing space in the new times; If we do not pay the required attention to children, youth and adults, our culture can disappear, it can become extinct due to lack of care and lack of interest, definitely those who do not know their identity are less likely to develop, both personally and within a social organization or community. Preserving culture, creating culture and disseminating it is an urgent need at the present time; education is the essential alternative to achieve it and theories allow a better understanding of the process to follow.
