OP I'm pretty much in line with Helen on this one. Phrases like "cultural enrichment" actually mean something. The more you know, the more you see. The more you know, the more you hear. The more you know, the more you notice and enjoy.
It used to be that everyone knew lots of phrases from the Authorized Version (King James) of the Bible and so writers could lace them, without quotation marks or explicit references, into their writing. Not so much anymore. Like wise the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. Likewise Shakespere.
Now it is the elder generation which "misses the point" of so much becuase we don't recognize the references to song lyrics and to dialogue in the movies which we don't see.
Perhaps a truly post-modern person would have the knowledge to appreciate both. Perhaps that is too much to ask or imagine.
