"...people from different cultures can, to a certain extent at least, inhabit different realities."

Muktuk Wolfsbreath, Hard Boiled Shaman - Page 6:
"...the takeaway, that culture defines reality and that, as a consequences, people from different cultures can, to a certain extent at least, inhabit different realities–impressed me profoundly. It completely upended the till-then self-evident truism that “in the end, we’re all the same”. The truth is, I learned in the class, is that in a lot of important ways we’re NOT. When we don’t understand that, we get into all sorts of trouble."
