The understanding that culture is the sandbox of meaning—the shared space of symbols, stories, values, and practices within which we make sense of our lives. We don't choose our cultural sandbox entirely; we're born into it, shaped by it. But within it, we can play, modify, blend, and even help shift its boundaries. Cultural Sandboxism embraces both the givenness of culture and our creative agency within it, recognizing that meaning is always built from available materials but can be built in novel ways.
