In which case some of the Nth Korean conclusions /explanations are culturally skewed. <br /><br />What most people would miss/ignore is that both cultures basically have the same genetic factors (hard wired instincts and the same neuro-chemical <br />brains. As individuals we are pretty much the same in that research has shown that we all show similar responses to similar stimuli.<br /><br />In a practical sense, culture is simply a collection of LEARNED often ritualised (normalised) responses to our environments over time. Although the actual reasons(ing)for those responses are often lost in time. Different environments (conditions+ circumstances+ knowledge)invariably result in superficial normative responses (variations in cultures).<br /><br />Because of the afore mentioned hard wired instincts individuals tend to see their culture as superior to others. This is as a consequence of both our communal instinct and fight or flight.i.e. we are drawn to familiarity and learned (being that which we feel (subjective) most comfortable with. <br /><br />In the final analysis we share more than we differ. <br />Culture <br /><br />Examinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990595916031900662noreply@blogger.com
