Culture is very prevalent throughout our society with beliefs intertwining with others and always changing. I often times have myself questioned when it comes to my values and ideas which reflect upon myself to interpret these questions. These ideologies change my perspective or sway my values simply based off of my social situation and surroundings, using the access to my sociological imagination to guide my expectations.

It never really occurred to me to find meaning in dusty tombs for myself rather than just see it as past actions that I’d rather not occur again such as war and inequality. However, people could and would oppose my opinion and perhaps find it almost frivolous! I have no qualms with society finding a different way to see our existence but they should simply equate our success to what we, as a society, have made through our own influences.
Culture has always been something extremely important to who and what will be as a society. I, for one, believe we should stop looking at the bigger picture of everyone but start imagining a society where every microlevel is just as important as the societal development we have grown accustom to. Our actions and values are just as important as the next interaction we’ll face every day, the optional bigger picture perspective never allowing this to
