Design, Culture, and Language

Design means something new or different than others. To design is to create something that is new to serve needs and satisfy wants. It is the process of creating or it is also the new product such as a new design of chair.

Culture is the traditions and habits that a society agreed on and these traditions became as normal activities. If any new activity exits, it would be a new innovation in the society. It could be accepted or rejected depend on the elasticity of that society.

Language is called to any way of communication that we can express our feelings, or wants or desires. This language can be voice, or written word, or sign or picture. By voice we can communicate and tell about ourselves. With a written word, we can explain a process of things. By sign we can warn someone or guide people. With a picture

I can relate the three terms, design, culture, and language, by saying that since we need to communicate and express about our feelings, we need to create a language that helps us to communicate. After we create a language which is not limited to words or voice but also it includes images and signs, we come to the culture which will determine whether our new innovation is acceptable or not in a specific society.
