A mind opener :)
Shaules provides an interesting overview of intercultural knowledge as it is researched nowadays. It shifts away from previously understood systems of stereotypes and turns towards a more global and systemic approach of culture in our perception.
To understand Culture it is necessary to understand the minds "living" in that Culture and to understand them it is worthwhile to understand the Culture they are to be found in.
The multiple ways in which Culture affects our understanding of the world are fascinating and shape the understanding of oneself.
