Culture is Ordinary

Raymond Williams conveys a very important message in his writing, “Culture is Ordinary”. He explains that culture has shape and change; it moves and grows in art and society. Williams says that "Every human society has its own shape, its own purposes, its own meaning." What I believe he is trying to express to his reader is that every different aspect of life has a culture of it's own. Every town, family, relationship, and even friendship all have their own different Culture. In the way people interact in these aspects of life creates a different culture and because every part of life is different, that in turn makes difference ordinary. In my opinion Williams conveys this message in a very confusing manner. In the beginning of his vignette he uses his family as a model, showing how culture changes over time, ultimately expressing that change and culture are ordinary.
