Document Summary
Boring way- cultural differences influence us. it would be weird to deny that culture ur used to did not influence you. How much culture impedes on the like core u (human nature) Having different perspective on things is obviously true. Interesting when: from perspective 1 say x perspective 2 contradicts and says not x. Even if disagreement, its vry hard to convince another person from a different culture. X believes one thing y believes the other. B(p) (btp: cross cultural persuasion is hard. The fact that u cant convince them doesnt make them not wrong: s. What we believe is a matter of convention ,arbitrary. We are not rational socities fight over differing conventions. Arbitrary difference doesnt matter, as long as they do the job. 1950s sexism changeed bc ppl got used to it, not from rational thinking. With 2 sides disagreeing, if you step back and see what u guys agree on.
