Summary: 5 Stars
Once again Mary Catherine Bateson, daughter of Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, writes a book that makes the reader look at people, cultures, and society through a different set of glasses. In this book, Bateson is looking at cultural norms of countries such as the Philippines and Iran as they compare to US culture whether it be on the issues of life, death, courtship, or parental roles. Bateson provides a thoughtful framework for engaging the reader in realizing that one culture/perspective is not the only way but we can expand our thoughts/feelings through opening our eyes to differences.
