Kultur 11 by Josh Crane

Kultur 11 

The first article for Kultur 11 was about the psychological wall that lingers today. There is a significant amount of hate between East and West Berlin residents. In fact, a survey showed that many West and East Germans dislike the united country. Germans play the part of the stuck up, while Easterners are the whiners and hecklers of the bunch. Westerners feel like they lose too much money to the East, while the East feels it is entitled to more. These attitudes will fade as the open minded youth grow up to make up a higher percentage of the population.

Then I learned about the North and South. They do not share much. The North is largely Protestant, while the North is greatly Catholic. The North is always busy, and never resting, industrial and fast. The South is quite the opposite.

Lastly, I found out about Berlin and the Arts. The authoring band moved to Berlin for a short stint because they could meet other bands and musicians, hangout with artists, and live comfortably for quite some time. It was also a great place to live. But nothing gets done, and the band did not make much music, because too many distractions abounded. In fact, some creative folks are being pushed out. So the author returned home and got back to work on his music. The author learned creativity is not found in a place.
