culture gap

In grad group we've been reading an insightful book called Culture Making that exhorts us to not just react to "the Culture" (whatever that is) but to be willing to make culture ourselves, everything from sugar cookies to symphonies to, yes, student papers about pot holes. The book even has a website where readers can join the discussion and where writers dig up videos such as this one, exemplifying the fact that, well, some new culture takes a little while to get used to.
