Are you cultured and educated or not?

Question

If not, why not?

Answer 1

Well, what most people would call "culture" is rather lacking here in the mid-west. Unless you count 4-H fairs, minor league baseball, and road rallies - LOL! But, hey, that's our culture and it's great, it really is. Course, I do take advantage of what's available. There's a fantastic civic theater, ballet, and orchestra for a city of this size. There's a nice art museum that displays several touring exibits a year. We have a lot of history museums. And the library here would blow you away - it's brand new, and huge! It includes a music library, a law library, a technology library, a social science library, and the second largest geneology resource center in the country.

Before I settled down to have a family, I went everywhere I had the oppertunity to go, traveling the mid-west, south, and east coast all the way up into Canada. I flew out to Vegas once to check out the desert. And my freshman year in high school, I went to Japan as an exchange student. Definitely a life-changing experience.

My formal education stopped after a year of college, but I never stopped loving to learn, and I'm a natural-born researcher. Whenever I hear of something new, I can't let it go until I find out what it is, what it means, or how it works. I end up studying difficult subjects (like physics) over and over until I at least get the general idea.

I get frustrated with anyone who says, "I don't know, " and then doesn't EVER know. Logically I know I can't learn everything, but I'm sure gonna try!

Answer 2

Yogurt is cultured. Table sugar is refined. I'm well forged and tempered, but sometimes in need of polishing.

I am terrifyingly well educated in more ways than one could begin to imagine, but sparse on degrees. The only pieces of paper that matter to me are the ones which come from the heart, whether penned in fancy calligraphy or scrawled with crayons.

I can go from Brahms and Botticelli to Beavis and Butt-head in .08 seconds. I can return to "high brow" just as swiftly. And all this happens without me missing a beat.

Answer 3

Actually both. My parents and brother are from Belgium, and I have been there a few times, also lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years. Lived in upstate NY for many years, now if Florida, so I have been around. I have a degree in Ophthalmic Assisting from the Joint Commission of Allied Health Professionals and am a 911 dispatcher now. Hope that did not sound braggy, but that's the facts.

Answer 4

One yes two no.

1. Educated, polished, and refined; cultivated.
2. Produced under artificial and controlled conditions: cultured pearls.

Answer 5

the interpretation of "cultured and educated" is far too broad

some people consider themselves cultured and educated if they finished high school and tried a tiny bite of a California Roll once

Answer 6

Well I have a couple of Masters degrees but I'm not sure if I'm cultured!!! I still like to hang with the biker crowd and do some pretty unorthodox things!!!

Answer 10

Unfortunately yes.Not only because of my long and researched studies at University, but also because i try to cultivate day by day more myself, and to have culture and level in everything in my life.
And i say unfortunately, because i suffer of this lack of etiquette nowdays, and people can not understand me.You say museum, they want pizza...
Do i have to afford it?
