"Culture" or "How I Spotted Cannibals"
I sometimes hesitate to talk about culture, as everyone seems to have a different idea of what it is. “Oh, you study culture?” people say, imagining me and a group of wildly decorated cannibals standing around the pot as if it were the local water-cooler. Actually, even those with fairly sophisticated ideas of the concept often don’t realize that culture can fit into a split second, cracking open the world into a rich spectrum of practices and beliefs. If there is one message you take away from this, it is that culture is everything, defining every moment of human existence from conception to the afterlife.
