From a literal perspective an abstract can be accepted as a short summary of published or unpublished research paper, usually about a paragraph. However at the end of the day existing in thought this ethos can be categorised as the total way of life of a people. Abstractly speaking since culture is made up of so many elements and some more obvious than others then to place the same close together furthermore side by side, especially with an arresting or surprising effect, or in a way that invites comparison or contrast. For example, just as the precincts of history are seemingly punctuated with Timelines. Contextually speaking then this cultural lens when use as a rhetorical device has the capacity to capture and frame a sequence of events between the periods 1966 to 2021 regarding the evolution of culture within Barbados’ historical space.  This expression was juxtaposed against the theory "the determination of the actual temporal sequence of past events".   What is important though as nouns the difference between evolution and change is that evolution is (general) gradual directional change especially one leading to a more advanced or complex form; growth; development while change is (countable) the process of becoming different.  This expression and thought   brings into focus the construct Chrysalis.  In this sphere it is noted that hipster illustrates, culture as always evolving and since the angle is the perceived size of an object depends on the size of the image projected onto the retina. And therefore the size of the image depends on the angle of vision. A near and a far object can therefore appear the same size if their edges produce the same angle of vision.  A case in point with an optical device such as glasses or binoculars, microscope and telescope the angle of vision can be widened so that the object appears larger, which is favorable for the resolving power of the eye (see visual angle) In the scheme of things I humbly suggest that the afore said reasoning reason implies that Culture consists of abstract ideas, values, and perceptions of the world that inform and are reflected in people’s behavior. Make no mistake Culture is shared by members of a society and produces behaviour that is intelligible to other members of that society. That said Cultures are learned rather than inherited and by the same token it can be interpreted as the different parts of a culture functioning as an integrated whole a view espoused by Andra Sanders. Therefore there is no doubt in my mind that Culture defined as the symbols, language, beliefs, values, and artifacts are part of any society draws our attention on two basic components namely-ideas and symbols while on the one hand and artifacts (material objects) on the other.  At this phase, it is es
