Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #37111 July Prediction European Culture
Instructions
Many  people  today  think  of  culture  in  the  way  that  it  was  thought  of  in  Europe  during  the  18th  and  early  19th  centuries.  This    of  culture  reflected  inequalities  within  European  societies  and  their  colonies  around  the  world.  This  understanding  of  culture  equates  culture  with  civilization  and  contrasts  both  with  nature  or  non-civilization.  According  to  this  understanding  of  culture,  some  countries  are  more  civilized  than  others,  and  some  people  are  more  cultured  than  others.  Anything  that  doesnt    into  this  category  is  labeled  as  chaos  or  anarchy.  From  this  perspective,  culture  is  closely  tied  to  cultivation,  which  is  the  progressive  refinement  of  human  .  In  practice,  culture  referred  to  elite  goods  and  activities  such  as  haute  cuisine,  high  fashion  or  haute  couture,  museum-caliber  art  and  classical  music.  The  word  cultured  referred  to  people  who  knew  about  and  took  part  in  these  activities.  For  example,  someone  who  used  culture  in  this  sense  might    that  classical  music  is  more  refined  than  music  by  working-class  people,  such  as  jazz  or  the  indigenous  music  traditions  of  aboriginal  peoples.
