Vernacular

When reading Pop Art and Vernacular Cultures by Kobena Mercer, I learned the Latin root of the word vernacular: Verna, meaning ‘home-born slave.’ The word vernacular means “the language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people in a particular country or region.” I started thinking about this definition in relation to the word’s root meaning, and my gatherings are that someone who is born in one place and does not leave or become exposed to other ways of living is a slave to that place. The word slave describes the experience in what I feel to be such a harsh manner, yet I do see some truth to it when I think of people I know that lack exposure to other cultures. Whether it be never leaving an area as small as a home town or as big as a country, such as the U.S., I have noticed (at least in the people I know) that the longer they go without leaving, the less they care to experience other cultures and the more ignorant they become to perspectives besides their own. It’s like they become so used to their current way of living, that they are afraid to make changes to their lives, or simply do not care to. However, not everyone has the same way of living as my rich republican uncle who has never left the country because of a lack of interest. I think what triggered this thought process was the word slave because my immediate thoughts were: “isn’t the quality of everyone's life experiences subjective? who is to say whose life is more valuable? if someone never wants to leave their home, is that really something that should be frowned upon?” I think that everyone is entitled to make their own life decisions based on what is best for them, as well as what is available to them. Not everyone can afford to leave their home town, travel outside of their home country, or do online research on foreign cultures. However, perhaps if they are stuck in this one place due to whatever circumstances, then in a sense they are actually a slave to their home. I suppose my overall thoughts so far are that people who are ignorant of other ways of living are either slaves to their level of comfort, or slaves to the lack of opportunity.
