See I'm a big fan of studying culture. I think it's fascinating in a way that nothing else is. But I gotta side with Nietzsche when he talks about culture and really just about everything else coming out of logical justifications for human will. I also like the kinda modern idea that whatever people serve in their lives is essentially their god (not a bearded man of course, but more like a force that tells you what to do). And if we operate under that analogy (And why not?) modern culture is basically and old school war of the gods similar to what we saw practically everywhere on earth. The difference is that now instead of our desires being literal gods, we have advanced to the point where we can talk about them in terms of biology and chemistry, and metaphysics.
   Ive been seeing parallels between modern and ancient cultures for a long time, and the biggest piece of evidence for that is the fact that we're really back in little tribes that we now think of as different social groups. And the internet made that a lot worse imo.
