Well, from the start i didn't appreciate this guys writing style. I found myself rereading sentences more than twice just to get the idea of what he was talking about, then only to be disappointed by what I found.
The thesis of this article, as I understood it was: every society has culture and it tends to change as time progresses... well duh, except for maybe the amish, but even they have to put their little orange triangles on their buggies in order to use our society's roads.
Besides the writers constipated and boring narratives the, only other thing this paper had to offer was a definition of culture: a society's way of life and also its progression through discovery and creativity.
As a disclaimer, I don't claim to be any better at writing than Mr. Williams... and you'll probably agree that I'm not after reading my little rant, but i enjoyed writing it.
