Cultural studies has some limitations, including a lack of adequate cultural knowledge, difficulty defining culture, and missing reality. It can seem merely intellectual. Cultural studies focuses on how culture interacts but may lack the "deep play of meaning" or "thick description" seen in ethnographic studies. Additionally, cultural studies focuses on popular media and culture rather than works originally intended for elite discussion. While cultural studies addresses many topics, it may fail to discuss "imperishable values."

description “ that ethnographer Clifford Geerez identified in
his studies of the Balinese.

happening at the movement ,about body of text created in the
past”

intended for elite discussions in English class room but
popular consumption

crisis” in the humanities can be seen as a failure of
humanities “ body of discourses” about “imperishable
values.

society and culture like polygamy ,changing the
role/stereotypes of women ,generation gap emergence of
new identities LGBT.

,in Satyamev Jayate presents dark side of Indian society.
