Culture is ordinary

When I read Raymond Williams article, I like he started us out with his origin. I believed by him doing so we would better undertstand his viewpoints on the subject of culture. The way that he wrote the entire article was in a very formatted way. First he started with his family origin, than went on to discuss his idea of culture. I also agree with Raymond William's idea of culture being ordinary because the very basis of it is infact "ordinary". There maybe aspects of certain cultures that of course differ from religion and government, to music and fads. William's was brought up in both a poor and rich culture. His family was poor and worked for everything that they got, so he knew what that culture had to offer. William's than moved on to gain an education and sampled what the higher life had to off in its culture. He gained a perspective on each culture and concluded that they are infact the same and ordinary.
