MONOKULCHA, CULTURE WARS, MULTICULTURES, HUMAN BEINGS

NSW HUMANISTS MEETUP's discussion event this Sunday 26 July 2026 at 3-5PM at Humanist House in Chippendale will be titled MONOKULCHA, CULTURE WARS, MULTICULTURES, HUMAN BEINGS. I mean what's with all this 'culture'? Woke culture, Bro culture, Cancel culture... The word culture can be a bunch of people and/or a bunch of ideas, and often references the behaviour of 'others' rather than 'us'. All this can lead to 'culture wars'! Multiculturalism can be a source of enriching a nation but has so provoked some of us that they advocate some kind of Aussie 'monokulcha', otherwise not specified, but no doubt intended to set prescriptions for the rest of us. Much of 'culture' overlaps concerns often expressed over concepts like 'identity'. Why can't we just be individual human beings and just get along through a process of empathy and open debate on reasoned principles? Are some people dragged into their family's culture and identity and suffer from stifling traditions from long ago and far away? Social pressures for 'respectability' are less effectivie than they used to be but new forms of conformity have arisen. All these words mean different thing in different minds but let's not get bogged down in academic semantics. It's just a discussion and there's no hope of easy answers, but it can be surprisingly enjoyable to share ideas, so why not come and join in. Our events allow for people interested in learning and discussing humanism to meet in a dedicated space, in an atmosphere that allows time and space for good conversation on interesting topics. ABOUT HUMANISM Humanism is a flexible, open-minded life philosophy where we explore our common humanity in an awesome world without theism (religion) and other supernatural beliefs. There is no dogma but a shared reality and an appreciation of basic human values like compassion, reason, and fairness. Humanism can be seen in the best aspects of the modern Enlightenment - secularism, science, social democracy, human rights, and human flourishing. We have a concern for the biosphere, and a delight in the world as it is - and as it could be. Our discussions respect reason, respect one another, and reject all dogmatic thinking. NSW Humanist Meetup is sponsored by the Humanist Society of NSW. The HSNSW encourages honest, open conversations held in a respectful manner.
