Hey everyone, the name is Marc Perniciaro. I'm from Madison, New Jersey. That's up in north Jersey. I'm a junior, but have only been at KU since spring '06. Like I said in class on Tuesday, I'm a big time sports fan and I'm very excited about the upcoming Mets season.
Culture is Ordinary. The reading was very interesting. Even though it started off very basic with his background and sets up his facts. I especially liked the part where he pointed out that at one place that he stood he could see farms and cathedrals and then if he turned around he would see smoke from industrial buildings. This isn't exactly true from where I live but I can clearly imagine this situation. Another one of my favorite lines was "Every human society has its own shape, its own purposes, its own meanings." I like this, even though I might not quite completely understand, but the reason I like it is it kind of reminds me of my own family. My father, being an Italian, kept all of his traditions and my mother is Irish and also kept the traditions of her family. When I see the two clash you can clearly see that they both have their own purposes to doing something and each of these also have their own meanings. The essay is a very informative one and one I agree with.
