Answer
Culture, as argued by Herder, is sourced from *the masses*, the collective wisdom and traditions of the common people. This notion challenges the prevailing belief that culture originates solely from the intellectual elite or ruling class. Herder emphasized that authentic cultural expressions emerge from the everyday lives, values, and artistic creations of ordinary individuals within a society.
