CULTURE, WHAT CULTURE?
- The three accepted meanings of Culture.
- Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture
- An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning
- The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group
All of the above definitions of Culture can be applied to the United States from its birth and into the 21st century. However, although they can apply describe us now, tomorrow will be a completely different story. We have up to now behaved morally, we have lived by a set of standards, many of them found in the Bible. We are a nation of immigrants, but our makeup throughout the past two centuries had a common denominator- that was the basis of our integration into the melting pot. That is why we are America. Sure, there were many differences among us, there always will be, but the generations who came before us strived for success based on their own initiative, their own capabilities, not based on help from the government. They were to proud to accept handouts.
Today we find ourselves swamped with immigrants, many have come to this country to leach off the system. They have come from almost every country in the world. Illegal immigrants have come here to find work. They are hired by employers seeking the fast buck. We ask these illegals, what is wrong with your country that you have to come here? Is your country corrupt? Do they not treat you with respect? Why don't you remain in your country and try to help it? Why come here in the first place? Your country needs you the most? They do not respect us and then wonder why we don't respect them. There is an easy answer, the Culture in the countries these immigrants come from is a Culture of Corruption. That culture is finding its way into our moral fabric and fast.
Gangs, have permeated every city in the country. Day laborers gather on street corners. Entire neighborhoods are beds of illegal activities. Hospitals are filled with children having babies. Education money is squandered on those who do not value it. Our morality is been corrupted. Learning is not a priority, country building is not a priority, but diluting the culture of our country is. We have seen this happen day in and day out; at town hall meetings, in government pronouncements and in decisions by our judiciary. America is changing fast and it will not be America in the not too distant future.
Those who come here do not share our attitudes, values and our goals. Wake Up America.
