A compost heap.

Kryptonite  It is all that is left

A microphone. I'm a musician/rapper, so I think that a microphone sums up the genra.

a cd of compilations from 2pac, goo goo dolls, and counting crows. strange,  yet true.

A pro football player, unfortunately. They are paid millions to play a game, while people are starving in the streets. Our values have gone downhill!

My personal culture: camera
The culture of the society I exist in: the dollar bill

As far as American society, it could be represented by a dollar, as the majority of present culture is posessed by material goods and personal gain, but it will slowly change. My culture can be represented by any personal depiction of spirit, in this case, a fairy.

The object that captures the values of my (American society's) culture would have to be the television set. The object that captures the of my (personal) culture is a book. I'd think that the majority of my self-improvement has come from reading books, and I will never stop reading.

(Hmmmmm. . . . .I think it's probably fair to say that "my culture" is "our culture" for the most part, right? I mean, we're all living in the year 2000 and in a fully modern, usually civilized world in the Western Hemisphere. . . .But okay. . . )

A television set. . . . it is an absolutely wonderful, beautiful and amazing object that fully shapes and reflects my culture, for better and for worse. .

Of MY culture?
Literature.
Of the culture I physically exist in?
I dunno. Probably money. Bleh.

Amy, 23

Huh? It's 2 AM. What kind of question is that? Do I even have a culture? All my analogies right now involve colors or food, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

The Moon. Represents reflection, introspection. It adorns the Earth and connects all cultures. We see the same moon as did all our ancestors, all cultures and all life on Earth.

The values that kept cultures apart, will one day eclipse and bring all
