Culture Is Ordinary - Assignment #2

I think that Raymond Williams has a very fine point to his writings. He begins by telling about his life, about where he grew up and how he lived as a child on the farm. As he is telling this writing, he begans to explain about how he believes that culture is ordinary andhe relates it to his life. He expresses himself through what he believes and it is as though what he is stating is true. Raymond Williams mentions how culture has "two aspects: meaning and directions", (pg. 5). I agree with him because I related this to my culture and I realize that we have meanings we live by and we also have direction. For instance, my meaning in my culture is to succeed and i must carry myself in positive direction. To sum this up, I believe that Raymond Williams has a strong structure to his writing which causes readers to think while reading.
