What does psychological and cultural survival mean ? It means to keep on existing in the psychological or cultural realm. Survival is mainly a relationship between existence, and time and space. When we talk about psychological survival, we talk about the perpetuation of the existence of everything that belongs to the psychological realm...the representation that we build, meaning the inventory of all the characteristics that we recognize within us, the whole of conditioned reflexes, what exists in our own history, conscious or not, memorized or forgotten...in other words, what defines our "individuality". Psychological survival becomes the perpetuation in time and space of the existence of a certain individuality. Cultural survival, is in many ways the "opposite" of psychological survival, but it is in many ways formed and transformed by the psychological realm...since the culture is made by and for individuals. Often, we talk about cultures through the studies of rites or more precisely, customs. Cultural survival then becomes the perpetuation in time and space of the existence of certain customs.
