Global Culture

I realize now that the name of this blog may be deceptive. It implies that the subject that interest me is “Global Culture”, when in facts this project is all about “Local Culture”. I will defer to a future post trying to define one or the other so for now the wikipedia definition of culture will have to do.

At the core of this initiative there is a profound conviction that it is the little cultural manifestations that surround us every day the ones that need support. It is the Local Culture that needs advocates so it’s not diluted among the overwhelming amount of marketing messages that try to keep us loyal to the products of global corporations at the expense of a future where there is no memory of our authentic origins and no foundation for a meaningful society.

So my vote is to keep an eye on what is happening in the global context and do the analysis work on how it may affect those around me in order to preserve what we consider our cultural heritage. Or as this partner blog suggests I intend to read globally, blog locally. My commitment is with the community around me. 

I hope that with time this message gets to many people and each and others decide that this is an important task and commit to their personal journey, affecting their own communities.
