This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.
Culture is something that we all share, and we are all the poorer for anyone excluded from it.
You have to put money in its proper perspective. The way it is positioned in the culture is like it is the most important thing. But something is missing.
It's very, very hard to affect culture. And you can get surprised thinking you're farther down the path of change than you really are because, frankly, most of us like the way things are.
Culture is a way of coping with the world by defining it in detail.
I don't think you lose culture because you act different cultures.
Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months.
Many people in the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture.
Culture must have its ultimate aim in the metaphysical or it will cease to be culture.
Culture is just a shambling zombie that repeats what it did in life; bits of it drop off, and it doesn't appear to notice.
