According to Sohaib, culture expresses the identity, customs and way of life of a nation that is transmitted from one generation to another. Civilization refers to the development, order and progress of life facilities such as education, technology and economic structures, while civility indicates the ethics, behavior and way of human interaction in society.
The speakers emphasized that these three concepts are inextricably linked to each other; culture shapes the identity of man, civilization provides the means for his progress and civility is a reflection of his ethics and behavior.
A successful and advanced society is one that balances these three elements, he stated.
