ABSTRACT

Cultural anthropology has changed popular thought as few sciences have done in the past. We know, as did no earlier age, that the uniqueness shown by a nation or tribe is due largely to a lifetime of learning and social interaction within that given milieu. One can see on film the Balinese boy, Karba, growing from a universal infancy into a withholding, muted, graceful, expressionless child, a typical Balinese 1 (Bateson and Mead, 1942).
