Culture is an essential aspect of a lively society, expressed in how we tell our stories and entertain ourselves. Participating in culture can benefit a person in many different ways, such as culture is a source of delight and wonder, and it can offer intellectually and emotional experiences (Newcomer, Hatry & Wholey, 2015). Culture supports the economy through direct and indirect job creation. Economic opportunities created by culture are more important as economies change from work based on physical labor to a new work model where creativity and knowledge drive productivity and growth. I would appraise a program based on its inclusion or omission by monitoring and conducting surveys. Program managers should identify the program’s purpose and aims and evaluation (Newcomer, Hatry & Wholey, 2015). The questions used to collect data should be simple and straightforward. After collecting data, program managers should analyze data and come up with a conclusion.

It is true that when a program is created, it is always created with hopes that the program will benefit the community and surrounding areas. Consequently, incorporating the local culture into the program is a vital requirement for the program (Netting, O’Connor & Fauri, 2008). Program managers should consider how numerous cultures will shape the program’s success and how the program will benefit all the cultures. Some of the most important questions that need to be considered when creating a program include will the program help individuals with disabilities? If yes, how will it serve the needs of individuals with disabilities? Cultural practices should also be considered when creating a program because people dress differently, and they set up their spaces differently from other people (Netting, O’Connor & Fauri, 2008). Program managers should understand the important aspects of a particular culture when creating a program. Programs can be evaluated based on reviews on the programs.
