cultured refers to the behaviour and thinking of people, it is
not solely based on how much we appreciate the arts and history,
there are other cultured pursuits such as lit and music, and doing
these does not mean we cannot have a penchant for shopping....
i wonder how cultured you are based on ur
superficial definition and naive measure of being cultured.
Please do not embarass yourself, at least go look up the definition
of cultured first...
fyi, this was written based on my own understanding of what
being cultured is, for the record, i do not go to art galleries or
museums etc...
for your benefit...
cul⋅ture
the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern
for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters,
manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.
the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social,
ethnic, or age group
Expouding on Codexboy's definition, another definition would be
development or improvement of the mind by education or
training.
So my
question to the threadsetter would be that, what is the rationale
being this question? If it’s a question posed out of true
curiosity, I would agree that Singaporeans are not very
cultured. An overwhelming majority of the people I know would not
think twice about blowing money on shopping or on mainstream
entertainment as compared to just forking out a few bucks on museum
entry in sg.
However,
if the question is meant as a jibe.. I feel that we should
just save our time instead of judging people on how they choose to
spend their money.
But thinking of the
reasons as to why sg-reans are ‘uncultured’, I feel that there are
3 reasons
