Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-30 00:00:00 Kevin Estrada In this book, a reader is invited to explore a culture as a piece of a puzzle, and to dig inside any of these pieces, to find an individual puzzle piece, each piece holds a puzzle of internal meanings, interacting with a pile of external inconsistencies, impacting any other puzzle piece that can be solved, so they can create together a new picture. This book also insists on the theme of "changing"; it addresses how humans receive meanings, patterns, systems, schema, and how they participate in recreating them by having their own internal system, which creates new thematic practices, "They recreate the public world of objects and events that they knew, reproducing patterns of experience from which the next generation learns."

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-13 00:00:00 Eric Hudson This book offers a framework for looking at the hows, whys, and what influences make us behave, think and act towards one another in specific cultural ways ranging from gender roles to automatic responses when we perceive physical and/or psychological threats. Take time with this piece it can really change the way you see yourself and influence how you deal with others.
