---------- Hi Eric, I think culture is the learned set of rules that shape our world view, which in turn guides us in our choice of morals, values and behaviours. These rules and world view are always in process, highly situational and totally arbitrary. either that or it is a that green stuff which grows on the bread in the back of my refrigerator, which also is in process, definitly situation but not so arbitrary. cheers Mac Swackhammer Dawson City Museum Original message: ============================================================================= To: RNET (MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS OF LIST MUSEUM-L <[log in to unmask]>), CAN-DCM, CAN-AVM From: RNET ([log in to unmask]) Subject: Re: all cultures valid Date: Fri 23 Feb 96 Time: 17:24 YST Form: Mail Delivery: Regular ============================================================================= Gary: Whose culture is it that promotes respect for cultures present and past? I'm just curious, because I would like to join this culture, if they're accepting new members. Maybe it's the Museum-L culture. Oh, and by the way, what's a culture, anyway?
