Every group has a culture

I mentioned those sociology lectures in my last posting. The most useful point learned so far has to do with every group having their own culture. (Groups, by the way, can include as few as two people or as many as a nation of people). I'm not sure why this never occurred to me before, but this concept came as a great relief to me because my American, Silicon Valley, and Mormon culture does not make me very happy. I probably wouldn't be happy in any dominant culture since I'm so sensitive to control. That said, I wonder if would feel more at home somewhere else. It's nice to know that there isn't just one way of doing things. So if you don't quite feel at home somewhere, it may not be your fault. It doesn't make you inhuman. When you think of the myriads of civilizations across time that have existed, it's fascinating to think of how different life has been for different people. And yet we're all, of course, people.
