Culture Wars In America
Bill O'Reilly is offering his lateset book titled " Culture Warrior". He promises to " fearlessly confront the serious [ culture ] issues". My question is , what or whose culture ?
My own observation is America's culture is still being formed. It would seem that with each new immigrant and with each new civil right, America is still groping for the bottom of the lowest common denominator that we can all call a cultural model.
America's grand experiment of equality for all ,and never mind the contribution of each, ignores and mocks the metaphysics of a sustainable social paradigm. Also the euphemism of " multiculturalism" clashes with a quick glance of any globe or world map. All those countries that make up the quilt of the planet are positive proof that people and countries are different. Which fact by extension argues more for a segregated society rather than a integrated one. That is in general and there are exceptions in symbiotic societies. But that doesn't mean that all peoples should not be respected.
