Yes, our culture is constantly evolving. It used to be a pie and a coke. Now it's a pie and an iced coffee.

Sorry that is not culture... that is diet.

Yeah you are right - however if we are talking about white culture it is food really isnt it.

The pie with sauce and iced coffee is definitely part of our culture, I would have had thousands by now, we have a young culture with NO BAGGAGE and a very rich one.
A short list: Cricket footy pubs the outback the ocean fishing surfing cars bikes gambling the boomerang work holidays the sickie long weekends and Victoria Bitter.
Bringing in cultures with religion being their only driving force will keep cultures distant.

What is a white culture? Only one i can think of is the culture of getting pissed. British irish aussie. We dont actually have any culture except for getting on the piss.

Spot

What about the abolition of slavery, liberal democracy, Christianity etc?

Thats more culture than technology. Xtianity is religion. So is hinduism and budism. I dunno - kinda culture but i think of culture as customs and social behaviours. They can be caused by religion.

Spot

It's all culture. What you identify as culture is what you get when you subtract everything that has meaning or purpose from culture, leaving only the trivial. I would call that cultural baggage. It's like saying that Australian culture is meat pies.

Religion, human rights, democracy etc are deeply ingrained in our society. Societies that lack these things cannot take them up easily, even if they want them. We could forget meat pies overnight and our culture would not change. But you would have to kill a lot of people to get rid of religion, human rights, democracy.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

anglo/european descent Australians have no culture except for "getting on the piss, sport & meat pies"

This broad assumption may be reflected in a few clusters in and around your "western suburbs, anywhere" sport stadium locations - but it is no accurate description of the average Australian

Australians prefer wine - over beer - in 2018
Most of us have a built in avoidance, of all things 'sport'
And a long way from the meat pie - our most popular meal is now pasta

You tell Spot & a couple of others that.

NOT!!! its beer maybe in inner city melbourne or Sydney- heck even I like beer- and only drink a dry red sometimes

Yes... I don't believe we are all headed into the Chardy & Latte Sippers snoot nose clique as yet.

And I see a lot more women, especially young women who drink beer.

um,

the renaicance, the enlightenment,science, literature, architecture, skyscrapers, going to the moon, modern medicine, the automobile, technology, exploration, the westminster system.

i think one should be able to think of a few more achievements of the west then "getting pissed". Wink

Thats not culture

Spot

You are challenging Bwian for the leadership of the mindless and unmoored party.

For Spot and others...

Quote:

culture

[ˈkʌltʃə]
NOUN

the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.
"20th century popular culture"
synonyms: the arts · the humanities · intellectual achievement(s) · [more]
the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.
"Afro-Caribbean culture" · [more]
synonyms: civilization · society · way of life · lifestyle · customs · [more]

Quote:

Culture

is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. Cultural universals are found in all human societies; these include expressive forms like art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies like tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization, mythology, philosophy, literature, and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society.
