The way people relate to social change is partly informed by their concepts of time and historicity. People may use different experiences of time, rituals, and constructions of the past, to project a vision of the future and their role in it. Better understanding of these connections and the role of human agency in history will help assess the processes and impacts of planned social and cultural change.
Language is the unique resource of humankind. It enables people to live together, communicates laws, knowledge and legacies across generations and is the unique vehicle for the aesthetic expression of non-material culture such as legends, ceremonies and songs. The remarkable linguistic diversity of tropical societies is in danger and under protection from the UNESCO Intangible Heritage Program. The documentation and maintenance of linguistic and cultural diversity is a necessary component of people’s identity, sustainability and well-being.
