If you know me, you know I am a researcher and a seeker. I am researching and seeking truth in everything about life and living it more abundantly.
Just a few weeks ago I was doing some late night keyword research and I stumbled upon a term I had never seen before – “Cultural Creative”.
I was intrigued by the term and you would have thought I had hit the lottery. I was excited by what I was reading and began to dissect the meaning via the Wikipedia and several online outlets.
I immediately identified with this new tribe of people. What about you?
My Eureka Moment happened in the middle of the Wikipedia when I discovered my tribe, the people who were like me, square pegs, who had created their own square holes.
Cultural Creatives is our name and fulfillment is our life mission!
**The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World is a nonfiction social sciences and sociology book by sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson, first published in 2000. [1]
The authors introduced the term "Cultural Creatives" to describe a large segment in Western society that has recently developed beyond the standard paradigm of Modernists or Progressives versus Traditionalists or Conservatives.
Ray and Anderson claim to have found that 50 million adult Americans (slightly over one quarter of the adult population) can now be identified as belonging to this group.
They estimated that there were an additional 80–90 million Cultural Creatives in Europe as of 2000. - ** wikipedia.org
American society is now divided into 3 main sub-groups:
Traditionalists: 28% of Americans — 54 million people.
Modernists: 47% of Americans — 88 million people.
Cultural Creatives: 25% of the population — 50 million - rapidly grow today!
