Higher Culture
What makes a person think they are part of a "Higher Culture" in this day and age ?What are the criteria or characteristics?
Is it Wealth ?
Is it all the real estates they own, or maybe all the family Monetary inheritance they have in the bank and that they don't have to work like the normal people in this world....
Or it Intelligence ?
Do they have to know more about Fine Arts, or classical music or politics.... Have they read more books or have a better knowledge on the world as to the normal person ?
Or is it Religion?
Do you have to be a Christian or Muslim or Buddhist ?
Or Colour of the Skin ?
Do you have to be a certain colour skin or eyes maybe even hair colour or maybe you have to be more beautiful on the outside to be part of a higher culture?
Or their Geographical location on the Map ?
Do you have to part of Europe or America or maybe a Scandinavian country?
Or is it the Food they eat, or etiquette, or moral and principals or is it even the air that they breath maybe it different ......... Lol
Sorry just trying to make sense ... I seen this statement been made a few times and I was wondering what make a person think they are of an higher culture.... :Dunno:
So how many of you believe that you are part of a HIGHER CULTURE and what are your reasons for believing so ?

In The Republic, Plato divides the city into
specific classes: gold, silver, as well as bronze
and iron souls. Each class is chosen to have a
specific value. Plato believes that wisdom,
courage, moderation, and justice join together
to make up The Republic. However, Plato also
believes that these values by themselves do
not make up a Utopian society. Therefore, a
combination of these four values in each
person would be ideal to create a perfect
society.
Some fools, try to justify their stupidity;
putting out of context, to Plato's Republic.
Its very interesting ....thank you for sharing above with us .....
I believe that there is NO such thing on earth as HIGHER CULTURE.
Hello my friend... Yes I personally feel the words HIGHER CULTURE has a snobbish connotation too it
Yeah I think ego has alot to do with it when a person claims they are of HIGHER CULTURE
It is obvious to me that Morgan Freeman aspires to be part of a higher culture. I mean why else would he wear that cap?
To show he has friends in low places
Cultured person if you will? my thoughts..As already pointed out. Good character,ethics,manners,that person treating others with respect,they in turn are a person that others respect,some examples.
You mention "yeah I think ego has a lot to do with it when a person claims,they are of a higher culture"...
Ego,can be either good or bad,you need to be in control of it and to not let it take over. If you want to take a look at 'self esteem' and an unhealthy ego for example?
Self esteem is balanced with self respect and self love,healthy regard for others.
Unhealthy ego,self importance,relying on others approval,constant attention seeking,feeling they are completely above others,ect
When we are disrespectful of others that we see as being less important,this coming from ego. People with healthy self esteem are and have respect for everyone,regardless of their position or status in society.

Hi Beautiful Shamaila ... Hope you well ... Thank you once again for your enlightening contribution, its always apprecited ...
That's part of what makes our world what it is, most good but some may not be so good. Our differences in culture makes a more interesting society. a world without these differences would be almost robotic and certainly a big bore.
I do not believe in a higher culture. Only
different cultures.
