Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Cultures - Just as fish do not think about water, we humans rarely think about our own culture (unless you happen to be an anthropologist). Fish do not realize just how pervasive water is to their existence until they are removed from it. Then, the absence of water becomes painfully obvious. Likewise, we don’t realize how pervasive our culture is until we’ve been taken out of it and put into another culture. Culture is the operating system running our life. Culture colors the way we see the world. Culture is like a tree with deep roots. Yet, most of culture is hidden below the surface.
