<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I’m applying to Princeton this year, and I was hoping for your interpretation on the Gideon Rosen prompt.</p>
<p>I wrote about my Chinese culture and what not (new year, mandarin, etc) and I thought I was good, but my English teacher told me I misunderstood the prompt and that culture in this case means art. </p>
<p>Am I in the clear? I really think I read it correctly, but now I want to make sure.</p>
<p>Bump 10 char…</p>
<p>If it would help your English teacher, ask him/her to watch this video:
[Gideon</a> Rosen on Culture and Value | The Social Rationalist](<a href=“http://www.jacobroundtree.com/2012/09/09/gideon-rosen-on-culture-and-value/]Gideon”>http://www.jacobroundtree.com/2012/09/09/gideon-rosen-on-culture-and-value/)</p>
<p>While I interpret this to mean he’s speaking of common culture as opposed to high culture, there is no “wrong answer”; they’re simply asking you to use the quote as a jumping off point, so feel free to write about whatever you want to write about.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks! I watched the video, too, but just wanted to make sure.</p>
