Culture - Past
,
Present and Future
By: Sabrina Amaya
Ever since the first day of this earth, culture has been a huge part of society. Every day it develops and has become one of the most important aspects of life. The foundations of culture began in The Roman Empire to the Medieval Ages and began to rise in the Middle Ages. The world of art, literature and technology became a life of hopes and dreams. Culture skyrocketed in the Renaissance, the age considered the bridge between the middle ages and the modern world. Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Galileo were people that impacted the world. This was the beginning of a world consumed by culture.
What is Culture? Culture is art, history, literature, education, manners and has traveled the world. It is diversity, patriotism, and today in this world, culture is celebrities and technology. There are more than seven billion people in the world, there are 195 countries and a variety of different ethnicities. Today, we define culture with our social media influence. It’s not only traditional culture anymore, but a broader way of life. Celebrity gossip, music, and the latest apple products are culture. I want to explore and open a world where we can see and explore our culture, now. Our generation is different, we have more fun, are more creative and it’s time to define who we are.
This column will be about exploring what makes our culture so special. We have a voice now to speak our truth and be what we want. Sometimes people do not understand our choices and sometimes we do not understand ourselves. That all stops now. Our generation is one of a kind. We define our life and let us define our legacy. Come back every week to see what our culture brings.
