Introduction:

Today the significance of culture is known to everyone. Many social scholars have studied culture and its impacts on the other aspects of social issues and human life. In general sociologists consider culture as “Cement” that brings coherence and binds people together and prevents separation. These scholars consider culture is needed for human societies and they believe there is no society without a culture. They believe existence of human beings is dependent on culture: "without culture we wouldn’t have the same sense and meaning from human beings as we have today; we won’t have a language to speak with and we wouldn’t have self-awareness as we have today; and without culture our ability to think and to reason would have also been very limited.

Given the significant roles of culture in a society it is therefore necessary to pay considerable attention to promoting culture and teaching cultural issues in the country, since we believe such an intervention helps the country to revive. Over the past four decades of political instability Afghanistan has lost many of its cultural heritages. Perhaps we can claim that many of the current political and economic problems in our society are rooted in cultural problems. There are various entities and institutions in societies that are engaged in promotion of culture. Universities in particular have key considerable roles; universities can not only equip the youth with knowledge, but also with culture.
