Are
you a Cultural Creative?
In research
focused on American values since the 1980’s, a husband and
wife team—scientist and psychologist-- report thirteen years
of survey research on more than 100,000 Americans, hundreds
of focus groups, and sixty in-depth interviews. Their documented
research reveals the emergence of an entire subculture of
Americans whom they call the Cultural Creatives.
Cutting
across cultural, religious and political lines, a uniquely
divergent group has arisen from within the matrix of traditional
and modern values. Like an audience in a theater, Cultural
Creatives are a coherent subculture. Although unaware of each
other, they look in the same direction.
Where are
Creatives looking and what do they care about? Who are they,
this group, apparently 50 million strong, yet unconscious
of each other as a whole people?
