This changes the orientations of the social world outlook, which is aimed at finding solutions for improving the quality of life and modernization of material and spiritual culture of the society. The integrative culture centered approach proves that there is a dialectical unity between quality of life and culture, namely that the development of quality of life occurs according to the scheme: cultural innovations meet resistance at the level of everyday culture, contains the primary life-support program. However, their subsequent interaction leads to the formation of a new quality of life. The main aspect, which draws attention in cultural concepts of quality of life, is culture of quality of life. It is a cultural heritage of the nation which includes elements of spiritual and material culture, together forming integrative culture centered unity.

The role of culture in the context of cultural centrism is that it organizes, gives dynamics and the symbolic meaning of those events that happen in people’s lives and characterize its quality. |
