Culture is the symbolic dimension of society. Culture is not limited to a sector or a specific area. Its character crosscutting affects all aspects of daily life that metabolize through articulated language with many complex metalanguagues, such as religion, law, morality, art, education, philosophy and common sense. Thus, culture is a huge, complex and multidimensional framework of methods and models defining, representing and modeling the world and all the experiences that we have. Therefore, we can say that this symbolic dimension is, at the same time, a big social complex system.
We have in Mexico a cultural diversity and, in and of itself, a huge social inequality and injustice that are part of our usual scenario. We could not reflect the strong possibility of self-appointed, self-defined, self- determined to win stages of development from our own reality. There is still no comprehensive cultural policy structured as a central pillar.
Despite these great efforts, made by the state, the issue of “development” seems not to go on, or not progressing quickly enough. We have not clear actions of state. There is not continuity and prospective of long-term development. So then, there is a general malaise in terms of incidence on human and social development in our country.
This paper analyzes the relationship between culture and development as a complex issue with multiple determinations. Culture will be reviewed from a systems perspective, as an empirical complex that affects this studied reallity (Garcia, 2006).
