Heey, u'r video rly helped alot :)) thank u. Can u provide me with some other links that related to this subject ?

Thanx in advance

[Thomas Jardine]

Thank you so much! I'm not sure about other videos. I go into some detail focusing on cultural trends in comic books with some of my videos.

For research purposes, I recommend looking up critical theory. It can be a little complex, but it's rewarding. Here are some of my favourite ideas: Kristeva's Powers_of_Horror and Haraway's Cyborg_theory.

Good luck!

Menggiring budaya anda utk duduk dikursi maka bicaranya masalah budaya juga, n budaya suku lain juga. Serta catatan sejarah, bahasa, tulisan, benda peninggalan budaya, ornamen, seni tari, ukir, pahat, kartun, photo, sketsa, gambar, film, remix budaya, campursari budaya, fixed cultured...etc

This video deserve traduction on, as many language possible. French for my fellows!

Good argumentation. The only missing link would be perhaps more time on Ethnocentrism, which is both an asset and a liability to understanding what culture is (oh btw, I suffer from this myself...). Otherwise, enjoyed the Video and Thanks!

i just define culture as who you are or what makes you who you are, as it is the ideas, beliefs, and values in which you're cultivated from

[Isabelle Arias]

you should!
