Culture and Values: How They Differ and How they are Somewhat of the Same

Over hundreds of years ago, people back in the day(way back)had different values and different cultures then people have today. There were some things that they shared: religion, family, wealth, social standing in society, career, and education. Culture has changed quite a bit as well. The language has kind of evolved. There is no haths or druthers or wither thoust... any of those type of words. Arts and science has widely progressed. Women no longer have to hide their intellect. ( Well, at least most women, still working on other countries.) We now have different types of cultures ranging from American to Arab to Hispanic to African Americans to Asians and etc. There were some multiculural people back in the day that did bring in a bit of their culture, but today they bring a lot of their culture. ( Hello! Can you say pizza? Thank you Italians!)

Now, people today value a few different things, they may share some of the same values but not to the extent of which it is valued today; it is a bit different. Education is a big thing now, i think it always has been no matter what century. In the old days ( stil actually have these kind of situations today) if you didn't have the money, if you didn't have connections, and you were not born the right gender, obtaining an education was not easy. A lot of people now come from families where their parents and their parents never got the chance to learn; because of that the children know the meaning of getting an education. Religion is still very much valued--- just now there are boat loads of religions. Thanks to that whole "freedom of religion thing", people can now worship whoever they want. Thank you Declaration of Independence)---family, careers, wealth, and social status or should i say celebrity status i.e. reality stars) are still valued but even more so now.

All in all i think the whole value and cultural system has evolved. Thanks to the old days people were able to learn what was important and what wasn't. Some may have forgotten but sooner or later it will be realized again. Hopefully social standing won't stand in the way so much, and the end of idiotic heiresses and bimbos will come. (Please). It changed a lot, but i still think we are smart enough to understand the important things in life. Maybe in the future the system will once again evolve. More cultural aspects will be discovered--- new genres of books or a whole new way of painting like what Georgia O'Keefe did for future painters. People may hold different values, but let's hope that pizza will still be there!!! ( And also let's hope that the debate between who has the better pizza Chicago or New York will finally be discovered). Not sure that was discussed in the old days ( probably not) but the times they-are-a-changing.
