“Every time you move through a built human environment, a trans-formed physical landscape, you are moving through something like a book or text, a collection of signs whose meaning derives from the intentions of those who made the environment what it is and the cultural ideals and ideas that lie behind those intentions. Simply by living in that environment, one learns and absorbs those meanings. One shapes ones life in accordance with the imperatives the landscapes contain.”
Consider this quote in relation to your 1,000 word Exploration and it may help you in analysing your personal cultural experiences.
If discussing Blur's Glastonbury 2009 performance you must consider: the place (environment), the historical implications of the performance (why they did it?) as well as the actual musical performance on the night. Only then can a TRUE interpretation of the cultural significance of the event be fully understood.
