"…a widespread discontent has developed with the use of 'culture' as it, like most words of fashion, has become an all-embracing term that pleads immunity to doubt." J. A. Sorenson in The Concept of Culture The Cincinnati Enquirer recently ran a photographic spread on University of Cincinnati students spending their spring break in Eastern Kentucky. The subhead reads "Cultural appreciation course takes students to meet those in need," and the brief five-paragraph story has three more references to Appalachian "culture". The eight photographs show students helping people too poor or too physically limited to maintain their own homes. Nowhere in the text is this "culture" defined but the inference is that an Appalachian "culture" exists, and it is one of inability, dependence, and need. 1:B2
