Abstract
Chapter 4 is mainly devoted to the discussion on the macro-pattern and external landscape. In this chapter, we will discuss cultural patterns in terms of its specific aspects and interior landscape, especially its qualities. Can every culture open to evaluation of good or bad, strong or weak? What we mean by “good” and “bad” is the quality of each cultural state, including its spiritual quality, social function.
