2 examples of folk culture and critique each 

Common examples in the field of high

culture would be classical music and performing
arts. Here, they are considered as high culture if
they are not done for commercial purposes, and
are to be presented in authoritative institutions
usually separated from common people. In the
case for classical music, it is considered as high
culture as the field requires expertise, precision,
and mastery, where it is then considered highly
competitive. A good example of this is the Yehudi
Menuhin International, a violin competition for
violinists under the age of 22 where they compete
each other in terms of style, mastery, and
precision of a given musical piece. In the case for
performing arts, they are usually performed in
prestigious theatres; thus, are leagues apart from
commercially-focused Broadway musicals or
West End theatre productions. An example of this
is Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, The Magic Flute,
where musical pieces, actors, and actresses of the highest caliber are performed in front of authoritative
people along with their family and colleagues.

In the case of folk culture, taking

Philippine folk culture as an example,
examples of performing arts such as the
Tinikling or Cariñosa, and folk music
such as Bahay Kubo or Leron Leron
Sinta are different from high culture in a
way that they are not required to have to
be performed in prestigious
establishments, nor require the same
amount of expertise, precision, and mastery present in high culture. While both
cultures are usually not done for commercial value, folk culture is much more attained and appreciated by
the common person as opposed to that of high culture where such arts are consumed mostly by people of
authority.
