By their very nature bureaucracies have no conscience, no memory, and no mind.

Culture is not made up but something that evolves which is human.

We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.

... while infants will sync with the human voice regardless of language, they later become habituated to the rhythms of their own language and culture ... ... humans are tied to each other by hierarchies of rhythms that are culture-specific and expressed through language and body movement.

By their very nature bureaucracies have no conscience, no memory, and no mind.

Each organism, no matter how simple or complex, has around it a sacred bubble of space, a bit of mobile territoriality which only a few other organisms are allowed to penetrate and then only for short periods of time.

Culture hides more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants.
