America seems to be deeply divided, along multiple fault lines. Emotions are running very high — over racial issues, economic differences, sexual mores, partisan politics, religious beliefs, and generational gaps. It feels chaotic – it feels dangerous. Is there some way to make sense of it all? We’re going to talk about all of it, here on the American Culture Podcast.
Who we are as a country? What does it means to be an American? Where have we been? and Where are we going? To ask these important questions is to ask about our culture. What is our culture now? how is it changing? and how should it change? Who are we as a people? Who do we aspire to be as a nation? If we can honestly grapple with these questions, and maybe, hopefully, reach some sort of consensus, we stand a much better chance of putting all those other divisive issues into proper perspective, and context, and possibly achieving a better level of mutual understanding over them.
Culture, at its core, means the shared beliefs, assumptions, norms and values that are inherited, transmitted, and reinforced as a community. It is our shared system of beliefs that help us decide how to behave, as an individual, or as a group.
To bring it closer to home: It is what we teach our children. What do we teach our children about what it means to be an American, what it means to be a good citizen, a good person?

Kavanaugh Lessons, Fooled by Facebook, America Unplugged, and More (Episode 8)
What lessons should we draw from the ugly Supreme Court confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh? Do conservative voices have an equal right to be heard? Is America really as angry and divided as the media would have us believe? How much #winning has Donald Trump been up to lately? And when will the lawsuits against “Big Marijuana” start? We talk about all that, and more, here on Episode 8 of the American Culture Podcast.
Today I have five current topics to discuss with you that are shaping American Culture. The topics include (1) Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Supreme Court Justice; (2) The campaign to rob conservatives of their voices online; (3) What I saw and learned on my recent travels all across America; (4) More #winning from President Trump; and (5) A disturbing new Marijuana study shows how dangerous it really is for kids. I am so glad you have taken the time to join us!
