ABSTRACT
We learn to perceive the world through those cultural artefacts which preserve a society’s stereotypes of its environment. … It is not merely flora and fauna, sunset and seascape which are seen through the prism of culture. We also see man in his infinite variety through the filters of stereotypical perspective.
