When you’re out of your own cultural context you have conversations with yourself that you just don’t have at any other point in your life. When you’re in a hotel room on the border between India and Nepal you can really discover things about yourself Picture Quote #1

The language of the culture also reflects the stories of the culture. One word or simple phrasal labels often describe the story adequately enough in what we have termed culturally common stories.

The story words unique to a culture reveal cultural differences Picture Quote #1

Culture is this thing that we can exchange among ourselves as human beings to knock aside our differences and build upon our similarities. Cultural exchange is the ultimate exchange Picture Quote #1

Human cultural diversity is vast; the range of cultural practices, beliefs, and languages that we speak is vast Picture Quote #1

I am all for cultural diversity and would be willing to see each recognizable group value its cultural heritage. I am a New York patriot, for instance, and if I lived in Los Angeles, I would love to get together with other New York expatriates and sing Give My Regards to Broadway Picture Quote #1

The problem is that those of us sympathetic with the plight of indigenous people view them as quaint and colorful, but somehow reduced to margins of history as the real world [(our world)] moves on We will be known as an era in which we stood by and either actively endorsed or passively accepted the massive destruction of both biological and cultural diversity on the planet Picture Quote #1
