What Makes a Culture ‘Resilient’ or ‘Fragile’?

A culture is like a tree. Some trees grow deep roots and can survive storms, droughts, or even fires. Others have shallow roots and fall over when the wind blows too hard. A resilient culture has strong roots, traditions, values, and people who keep it alive even when times get tough. A fragile culture might not have those deep roots, so it can break more easily.
