Culture Is Ordinary

Hey everyone I'm Sarah...When I read this article for the first time I was a little confused. I was to the point where I could understand where Raymond Williams was coming from but then he would state something else and I would be completely lost. So I ended up going back to the begining and reading it all over again. Raymond Williams said, "Culture is ordinary, in every society and in every mind." I feel as though he's right because everyone in most cases are able to think what they want for themselves. People are born with their own minds and its up to them to use it. He basically said that culture has two aspects: "The known meanings and directions, which its memebers are trained to and the new observations and meanings, which are offered and tested." I think he knows whats he's talking about. In the long run I believe that culture is ordinary because everyone is different and they have things to call their own, their own ordinary things.
