Algerian culture : the problem of values and social progress

Abstract

This research, investigates the process of the Algerian culture through time, and seeks to give an evaluative review of it. Then this study will go over and will try to dig deeper and deeper, for the underlying causes of our cultural problems, focusing on the historical process of this problem, since Algeria when it was subjected to the ottoman rule and the French colonization until the aftermath of the independence, through an inductive approach. In this research, the most useful written facts are varied in three types: history and culture books, articles from various periodicals, written testimonies, Social and Anthropology works. Relying on these interdisciplinary sources was, absolutely, very necessary to bring to light and accomplish this study. In doing so, we were obliged to use historical sources of Algerian, French and other authors .Unfortunately, For lack of time, the method used in this master thesis is limited to the historical method, however, the sources used, were first chosen carefully, to then be subjected to my critical analysis. In this study, we would like to pose and answer the question of what is the nature of the Algerian cultural problem, in an orderly and customary manner, relying on the approach of scientific research in the investigation and induction and draw conclusions.
