Introduction:
     Mathew Arnold:
                                          Mathew Arnold was poet and critic. Arnold’s work as a critic beings with the preface to the poems which he issued in 1853 under his own name. His literary career leaving out the two prize poems had begun in 1849 with the publication of The Strayed Reveler and other poem by Arnold. Mathew Arnold “was indeed the mast delightful of companion”. Writers G.W.E.Russell in portraits of the seventies. Mathew Arnold has been characterized as a sage writer, a type of writer who chastises and instructs the, reader on contemporary social issues. ‘Culture and Anarchy is major work of criticism by Arnold.
               In easy  Culture and Anarchy in chapter three he write about the three class people and compare. He compare to Barbarians with Aristocratic class, he views that this class lacks adequate courage for resistance. He calls this class the Barbarians because they believe in their personal individualism, liberty and doing as one likes; they had great passion for field sports. Their manly exercise, their strength and their good looks are definitely found in the Aristocratic class of his time. Their politeness resembles the chivalry Barbarians, and their external styles in manners, accomplishments and powers are inherited from the Barbarians. The Barbarians brought with them that staunch individualism, as the modern phrase is and that passion doing as one likes, for the assertion of personal liberty, which appears to Mr. Bright the central ideas of English life. The Chivalry of the Barbarians, with its characteristic of high spirit, choice manners, and distinguished bearing-what is this but the attractive commencement of the politeness of our aristocratic class? In some Barbarian noble, no doubt, one would have admired, if one could have been then alive to see it, the rudiments of our politest peer.
Philistines:
                           The Philistines pent polis were ruled by Seranim, who acted together for the common good, though to what extent they had a sense of a “nation” is not clear without literary source.
                           Mathew Arnold use philistines in his easy culture and anarchy. In easy he compares philistines with middle class. The other class is the middle class or the philistines, known by its mundane wisdom, expert of industrialization and commerce. Their eternal inclination is to the progress and prosperity of the country by building cities, railroads and running the great wheels of industry.
                           The major opponents to culture Mathew Arnold calls philistines, thus giving rise to the modern usage of the term. The term used in a binary opposition to the term Barbarians both discussed at length in chapter 3. Philistines for Arnold are the middle class as being the major opponents to sweetness and light.
Populist:
                        Populist are seen by some politicians as a largely democratic and positives force in society, while a wing of scholarship in political science contends that populist mass movement are irrational and introduce instability into the political process. Populist democracy , including calls for more political participation through reforms such as the use of popular reforms such as the use of popular referendums. Populism has been a common political phenomenon throughout history.
Hebraism:
                     Hebraism is the identification of a usage, trait, or characteristic of the Hebrew language. Hebraism speaks of becoming conscious of sin, as a feat of this kind. Hebraism aiming at self-coquets and rescues. Hebraism which thus received and ruled a world all gone out of the way and altogether become unprofitable was and could not but be the later the more spiritual, the more attractive development of Hebraism. Arnold expands on this usage Mathew Arnold in culture and Anarchy describes Hebraism and Hellenism as the two point of influence moves our world. Hebraism speak of becoming conscious of sin, of wakening to a sense of sin, as a feat of this kind.
Hellenism:
                        Hellenism acquires spontaneity of consciousness with a clearness of mind. Hellenism keeps emphasis on knowing or knowledge. Arnold turns to sin that spoils the efforts to achieve Hellenism. The simple idea of Hellenism is to get rid of ignorance and to see things as they are and to search beauty from them. Arnold turns to sin that spoil the effort to achieve Hellenism. He calls it a mysterious power that is to man. The discipline of the holy scripture teaches how to avoid and stop the sin.
                     The final aim of both Hellenism and Hebraism, as of all great spiritual disciplines, is not doubt the same: man’s perfection or salvation. Hellenism and Hebraism both are directly connected to the life of human beings. Hellenism keeps emphasis on knowing or knowledge, whereas Hebraism fastens its faith in doing. One thing must be viewed that Hellenism of Indo-European growth and Hebraism is of Semitic growth. Hellenism and Hebraism are profound and aolmirable manifestations of man’s life, tendencies, and powers, and that both of them aim at a like final result, we can hardly insist too strongly on the divergence of line and of operation with which they proceed.
                       The rule of life must be based on the actual instinct of seeing things as they really are and guiding our moral impulses is that we can serve the ends of Hebraism and Hellenism. Human life under the spell of Hellenism and Humanism really are, and to see them in their beauty which would lead to ultimate truth.
