    Extractions: CULTURE Sri Lanka is a land of great cultural diversity. Religion pervades many aspects of life and constitutes a basic element of this diversity. Buddhist and Hindu temples, as well as mosques and churches, with their own colourful rituals, are the most readily visible features of the cultural landscape. Varying degrees of colonial impact, modernizing influences, and wealth and income add other shades to the cultural mosaic. In architecture, sculpture, and painting, Sri Lanka's traditions extend far back into antiquity. The remnants of ancient works restored and preserved at archaeological sites, while reflecting Indian influences, also bear testimony to the inspiration derived from Buddhism. Classical literature, too, presents a blend of stylistic influences from India with Buddhist themes. Since the beginning of the 20th century, with the literati being exposed to European literature, local creative writing has acquired greater diversity in style and has become more secular in content.

    Extractions: @import url( http://rw-3.com/wp-content/themes/rw3c/style.css ); Cultural Wisdom at Your Fingertips by Sean on March 18th, 2010 + The influences of Buddhism and Hinduism as well as the caste system have created a culture that emphasizes hierarchical relationships. Sri Lankans are conscious of social order and their status relative to other people, be they family, friends, or strangers. + The tenets of karma and reincarnation help foster hierarchical structures because they purport that people are born into their social order based upon their behaviors in their previous life. Therefore, if a person is born to a wealthy family, it is right that this person should be highly educated and achieve material wealth, since that person previously led a good life and should be rewarded.
