My mother always used these terms as signs of approval, but I never quite caught what she meant. She was always telling me that one could not become a cultured or refined person by dint of education, that it was something different.
What, therefore, would you consider the mark of a cultured person..... or a person of refinement?
Thank You

Cultured is a well 'brought up' person well educated knowledgeable and well travelled.
Refined is someone who is quiet, intelligent and not at all flamboyant.

Rajan Sir Your paragraph is like tyring to cover a pumpkin in a unmarried palm ! the start place of racism, casteism, separatism and so on. has been Hinduism. If there is not any caste, then there is not any Hinduism. it rather is the bitter reality, nonetheless you or all people else could attempt to disclaim. in case you have been to handle your paternal or maternal uncles infants as your 'authentic' brothers and sisters, are you able to arise with the money for to grant equivalent proportion on your father's sources ? the certainty of relationship lies interior the respond of the above question. An uncle marries the daughter of his sister, in Hinduism. Your suggestion to those Hindus who see and experience racial difference to leave Hinduism isn't tenable, because of the certainty that for the time of the variety of case, Hinduism does no longer exist in this worldwide in any respect.

A cultured person is one who knows how to behave in a group setting. A refined person is one who has the mannerism and taste of the bourgeois! lol.

Anyone that uses the word "culture" is a snob. It doesn't mean anything. It's the Emperor's new clothes. It's a way of elevating someone so they can be sycophantically adored. I've never done that with anyone and I never will.

Cultured as in plant, grown, matured.
Refined as in silver, removal of impurities or dirt.
Obviously outdated or what?
For as long as education equates the swallowing and regurgitation of non-experiencial 'facts' then no, it will not produce anything of the like.
Life may, given the correct environment.
