		We believe in and are supporting sport, culture and the arts both because of their potential to lift and inspire but also and not least because of their contribution to combating social exclusion and tackling ‘poverty of aspiration’.
		It is right that our cultural policy represents the diversity of all our distinct communities bringing about a situation where true equality of opportunity results in a more equal and just society.
		The arts and sport can play a crucial role in bridging barriers between different groups and fostering a sense of community cohesion and our ambition is that they continue to do so, innovating and leading from the front.

	Topical Words: Culture
		Culture is something mildly distrustful best left to foreigners; the British stick to warm beer, cricket and the football pools.
		This distrust arises in part because culture, though ostensibly a moderately inoffensive word, is actually one of the most complex and value-laden in the modern language.
		Hostility in Britain to the word culture seems to have begun in the nineteenth century, with complicated connections being forged between it and class distinctions, which caused many people to reject its implied claim of superior knowledge and refinement.
