Human Culture

What is the current state of culture today? Everyone is so interested in the individual cultures of singular nations but then again, what happen to the universal culture of people in general? Everything from button down shirts to denim jeans and sneakers could be considered cultural norms of today right? If an alien race were to come down and see and examine our species they would most likely see many similarities in the way we do things, see things, and experience them. Through food, clothes, and even mannerisms have the powerful ability to cross cultures, both the good, the bad, and the ugly. So what would the standard or icon of the denizens of Earth be.? What would such emblem portray as to the essence and nature of what we call the human race, to be.?

Beyond the fads, fashions trends, and the milieu of ideologies, what is the single most intrinsic aspect of the species Homo Sapien, Earthling, bipedal hominid of the third planet from sol.? Maybe destruction, perhaps spirituality, or maybe even love. If money is the root of all evil, than what is love? I've heard some people say that it is the opposite of money(aka evil in this instance). I've heard that love is the absence of evil (i'm not sure about that one). Someone once told me that love is just love (whatever that means). The bible says God is Love. So then would the symbol of the human race be a symbol of Love. How does one draw such a thing. should it even be drawn? Can it be Drawn? can someone truly draw Love? Not and aspect of love, nor what love between things or of things, but love itself. Is love the fuel that drives us, molds our thoughts and reveals the destinies of the universe? Or is it nothing more than a futile human at temp to try to quantify something that was never meant to be labeled and compartmentalized in the consciousness of the soul.

Is there a new search for understanding in this day and age? I believe so. More and more everyday, folks allover the world are searching for answers to things that at some point within the past century or so, the mass populace felt that it was time to stop thinking about these things and start thinking about new world order. Well, perhaps mankind is waking up again to the reality that is human. Many people have devoted their lives to this search and understanding, and then there are those that follow the devoted. Everything from Religion, Philosophy, and even exercise is under the scrutinous eyes of the people, and everyone wants answers. Some are out there for the truth, weather to debunk or scientifically quantify. Others just have no where to go and have run out of options so they throw in the last of what they have in the hopes that in the crap shoot, they'll hit big. The people are interested more then ever i feel, and I also feel that it's just in it's infancy. No longer about signs, but the wheels and gears are churning for something, something big. Good or bad a wind is blowing in a direction that it hasn't blown before. Perhaps it will be a new post modern renaissance, or maybe just a bastardization of true human thought. Will this become the next new Human Culture? a new era of thought?
