"Culture Renaissance or Culture Divide?"

While reading "Culture Renaissance or Culture Divide?" by Bill Ivey and Steven Tepper, I gained a lot of knowledge that while in a growing technological world, we still experience a "culture divide". Although more and more people are experiencing the arts through their own creations, whether building their own recording studios, or filming their own "professional" movies and posting them over the Internet, those with less technological resources and time and money cannot experience other people's creations or their own. This does not allow those who have less time and less money to broaden their horizons, which forces them to "jump on the bandwagon" and listen to the same songs on the radio according to what is "popular". I think that this is why people need to not wait around until the next big thing is broadcasted on the televisions or the radios, but to find the next big thing by experiencing it themselves. To do this, it does also require people to use the latest technology and to keep updated in a world of endless technological advances.

I think it is great that "pro-ams" are experiencing art hands on and this is what we all should do. It only takes one person with one new idea to help America's culture broaden. With more and more ideas and new skills, the world can be more culturally diverse and more people will be forced to experience an array of things and become more culturally diverse themselves.
