So this is to be my introduction I suppose. My name in Amy, I'm the girl that had to leave class early last week. My close friends call me Table, and you can too, if you like. I feel stupid having to misspell my name for the sake of this, but apperently there is more than one person on the internet that goes by the name 'Table'. I'm a sophmore, which means I procrastinated on this class, and I'm majoring in English Ed, which means I'm REALLY procrastinating. I'm minoring in French and plan to study abroad in Africa this spring.
Hmm, now how else does one describe themselves? My best friend and roommate last year(MIA in california) referred to us as zealots, and I feel thats pretty accurate. I love starting new projects, and getting very excited about new ideas; fnishing them is another story. I like skateboarding, art projects, and national geographic. One of my most outward qualities is probably my ability to talk, and one of my favorite subjects is society, so this reading was quite perfect.
I really like how Williams took a sort of empty word, 'culture', and gave is some bones to stand on. He defined it as everything! Well his word was 'ordinary,' but i feel that is what he meant. He said culture is what we recieve, how we interpret and what we in turn create. Culture is the colllection of traits that a bunch of people (a society) have in common.
I feel he did an accurate, enlightening job in his definition.
Kudos Williams!
