    Why is participative culture important?


    Have you ever thought of the constituent elements of a society? Participative culture is a vital element in the sociological study of the communities. Within each one, there are different dreams, wishes, fantasies, habits, codes, ways of establishing relationships and these aspects are expressed in a free and pure way.

    This freedom is neither subdued to institutions nor to the control of a specific official tradition. That´s why participative culture can change freely and get adapted to a society over time. Participative culture is less homogeneous because its elements vary according to the type of community and the connections that might be explored.

    Also, participative culture can be thought as one with relatively low barriers to artists expression and civic engagement. The members of a community believe that their contributions matter and they feel some degree of social connection with one another. It is considered that not every member must contribute but all must believe they are free to contribute when they are ready and that what they contribute will be appropriately valued.

    All in all, I think that if participative culture didn´t exist, we wouldn´t have the opportunity to know other cultures and habits and we wouldn´t be able to establish relationships with people that are very different from us.

  Have you ever done any extreme sports?  Are you an adrenaline junkie?  Read this story about one man facing his fear.  Before reading Do the preparation task first. Then read the article and do the exercise.   Coming back up  So we’re driving along, a road in the middle of nowhere, a few trees now and then on each side of the road, mountains in the distance, there hasn’t been a town for ages and then you see this sign, not really a proper sign at all, just a piece of card with some words scribbled on it: ‘Bungee Jumping, 5km’, and an arrow pointing to the left. I can’t even see a road going left, and there’s certainly no sign of any bungee jumping, but you insist, the idea has taken you, you’re crazy about it, you’ve always wanted to do bungee jumping. I know, you think I’m boring because I don’t want to go.  ‘Go on!’ you insist. ‘We don’t even have to do the bungee jumping, we can just go there and see what’s happening.
