Culture is the root of a nation. Every nation must have own culture. So Bangladesh has its own traditional culture. Cultural awareness varies within individuals. One's own sense of cultural identity often is not evident until one encounters another culture. Cultures are continually evolving. Understanding another culture is a continuous process. One should understand the language of a culture to best understand that culture.

Conclusion:

Cultural Change in Bangladesh Culture can be defined as all the ways of life of the individuals members or groups within a society, including arts, beliefs and institutions that are passed down from generation to generation. Cultures are internally affected by both forces encouraging change and forces resisting change. These forces are related to both social structures and natural events, and are involved in the perpetuation of cultural ideas and practices within current structures, which themselves are subject to change Social conflict and the development of technologies can produce changes within a society. These social shifts may accompany ideological shifts and other types of cultural change.
