3 Ways to be more Cultured
In recent years the world has approached a second renaissance, with the issue of culture increasing steadily in importance. Consequently, our standards of society have altered themselves accordingly, with a cultural attitude becoming more important than ever. Something as simple as brewing your own espresso can both accrue you some social capital and add depth to your own life.
With that said, the first tip involves coffee. Although initially it might not seem so, it is a simple matter to brew your own espresso. It also ends up being significantly cheaper than buying your cappuccinos and lattes at Starbucks. Simply buy yourself a stovetop espresso maker. Many stores sell them for as little as $10. You should also consider spending the $20 to get a milk frother for cappuccinos and lattes. I would recommend the Aerolatte brand. Take a look at the Kay Circle guide to espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, and more (link above) for indepth but easy to follow directions. Not only will the coffee be better, but you will also save yourself quite a bit of money.
Another easy way to broaden your cultural horizons is to take up membership with an art museum. A familiarity with great art can be an excellent asset when it comes to the social world. Bringing the conversation around to Renoir and Matisse is a great way to win over just about anyone. Knowing how to pick out good artwork can serve an excellent purpose in decorating your own house or apartment, not to mention the money you will save when the discussion of price arises.
Lastly, pick up a book. This is one of the best ways to improve your cultural knowledge. Your mind’s ability to process abstract ideas, work with language, and carry vocabulary will all be improved simply by reading. Pick up a copy of War and Peace or The Grapes of Wrath and you will see immediately what I’m talking about. Even a single hour each day will serve you greatly toward your goal of cultural improvement. You owe it to yourself.
