Welcome to Culture

Has life taken hold of you by the back of the neck and shaken you about or have you taken charge of your life firmly and mapped out a direction? Are you or events in the driving seat in your life? For many of us life is going along with everyday matters and getting through as well as we can, just living till the end of the week a success story. Life planning is a symptom of a very wealthy and comfortable society. If there are sufficient monies to ensure a determined and funded future we are protected from the vagaries of chance and misfortune.If we can be reasonably sure that tomorrow and the day after and the day after that that the buses and trains will run and the TV and radio will continue to broadcast with good old Aunty BBC still churning out her stuff we are living in a stable and enduring country. We are not living on the edge in a society which is in turmoil. We can expect our institutions to continue evolving inside a democratic framework even if we do not like the way that it pans out we do get to have a say in what goes on. Living your life; is it up to you or does it depend to a greater or lesser extent upon where or with whom you are living your life?
