American Culture
In tuesday's class we talked about tribes and whether or not American culture would become fragmentary because of the "nichey" culture. I think that belonging to several different tribes is a good thing and it helps to well round people. Essentially being able to belong to several different tribes exemplifies America. It is the epitome of american culture. The beauty of America is that you can come here and do whatever it is you would like to do from worship the devil to becoming a monk, it is your autonomous right. This is what makes our country so great and unique!

I agree!! If it weren't for our fragmented society, a lot of things we like wouldn't have the popularity that they have. As they say, variety is the spice of life.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally. I myself like to belong to as many different tribes as possible because it allows like you mentioned April, for us to be so well rounded and to also have the freedom to decide who we want to be and what we want to do.
ReplyDeleteAlso belonging to many different tribes will allow things to be combined and eventually create new tribes based on sub-genres
