Do It For the Culture: Play Your Part… Play Your Part
Do it for the culture.
What does that even mean?
What is the culture?
Who defines the culture?
The answer to those questions is closer than you think.
The culture shows up daily.
The places we go.
The people we meet.
The values we admire.
The ideas we adapt.
Here’s your guide to finding culture.
Visit your own city as a tourist.
Catch an Uber to the heart of this city.
Pay attention to the Uber driver’s posture.
Their small talk.
Their music.
Their attitude towards you and the traffic and other people driving around them.
The environment around them controls their culture.
It can motivate. Inspire. Agitate. Or soothe.
As you ride, notice the multiple human layers of the culture.
Zen people. Beard gang. Goth.
Healthy. Athletic. Lackadaisical.
The sports fans.
Our culture is 100% influenced by our chosen information sources.
What we pay attention too.
