Hey Everyone!

Hi my name is Jillian Brennecke. I'm from Hatfield, Pennsylvania where I graduated from North Penn High School. I was on the bowling team for school for 3 years and in my senior year I was elected captain. Outside of school I have been playing on an intramural soccer team for 13 years. I am majoring in Elementary education with a concentration in coaching education. I am looking forward to a great year at KU and a lot of fun in Mahoney's English class.

After reading Raymond Williams "Culture is ordinary" I had to go back a few times and re-read it to fully understand what he was trying to say. Even though I still don't fully understand it this is what I got from it. In the beginning when he was talking about his "journey" I began to feel that I was reading a clipping from his journal or notebook he kept. It was confusing and that was just what I was getting from it. But then I realized that his "journey" was describing changes that had occurred over time, and culture is always changing from human experiences. "Culture is Ordinary" why then? I still can't fully grasp what Raymond Williams "Culture is Ordinary" is trying to say, but I know that with every passing day changes occur from human experiences, that change the culture around us and can make changes seem ordinary.

Hi my names Danielle, im from Abington PA and my major is Early Childhood education...not to sure how this works, just trying to figure it out.


I really am not sure about this but..i'll give it a try..

I just read "Culture is Ordinary" and i dont fully understand how he can be saying culture is ordinary when he is talking about changes all the time? I guess that maybe because changing is something that everyone and everything does makes it ordinary? I also dont understand what the bus ride and the journey had to do with it? Maybe thats where he saw most of the changes occuring? I really am not sure...

Hey this thing just confused me so much. Anyway, I'm Andrea I'm from the jersey shore! I'm an elementry ed./earlychildhood major. I'm looking forward to a great year at KU!

I had to read Raymond Williams, "Culture is Ordinary," many times before fully understanding what he was trying to say. I could'nt understand what his description of his bus ride or"journey" had to do with culture, and culture being ordinary. After reading it over I began to understand. When he described his journey, he was describing many changes that took place. Culture is made up of changes, based on human experiences. Humans make up society which make up culture, through the shaping of minds, experiences, relationships, discovery, skills and ideas. But why is it that "Cluture is Ordinary?" I don't fully understand what he is trying to say about Culture being ordinary, because changes occur everyday. Not a day goes by that things are the same. Everything around us is different, culture is different. What I think Raymond Williams is trying to say is that culture is ordinary because changes are ordinary. Changes are a part of everyday life, and culture is the whole way of life.
