Primitive culture is a term that can be problematic as it implies that these cultures are less advanced or inferior to more modern cultures. Alternative terms that can be used include "traditional culture", "indigenous culture", "tribal culture", or "non-western culture". These terms can be more appropriate as they do not carry the same connotations of primitiveness. They also acknowledge the diversity and richness of cultures that exist beyond the western world and recognize the value and importance of traditional cultural practices. Additionally, using the terms "pre-modern culture" or "ancient culture" can be useful in historical contexts when discussing societies that existed before the modern era.
