WHAT IS KULTURE/AMERIKA?
KULTURE/AMERIKA is a website devoted to the exploration of the 'New America', one that has and is changing dramatically from the one that existed in the past, the one that I grew up in...in some ways these changes have been incremental, but, as with all changes, a new 'creation' can sometimes seem to appear 'suddenly', and then we are all left trying to get a handle on what has happened and what has caused it...the average person goes about his life, trying to make a living, do some worthwhile work, raise a family...he/she is preoccupied with the basics of life, and most often, doesn't really have time to reflect on larger forces that shape our existence...and there are larger forces operating, but these forces mostly seem to beyond our control...KULTURE/AMERIKA will seek to identify some of these forces, and to reflect on the effect they have on our lives, for better or worse...we focus on a variety of aspects of this New Amerikan Kulture: politics & history, the effects of mass media & the Internet, the arts & music, finance in terms the layman can understand, and, maybe the most important aspect, our views on God & religion...I will be posting a regular blog, The KultureBlog, to give my views on all of the above...I hope to get contributions from a number of independent bloggers & journalists, as the 'blog form' is the grass roots of today's journalism, one not limited by considerations of political correctness or money...So, I hope that KULTURE/AMERIKA will provoke some thought on the part of our readers, and that this will lead to a change 'for the better', at least in terms of awareness.
From the 'City of Brotherly Love', Philadelphia PA, and may God bless us all...
