This is exactly what I want to try and encourage at this community, the exploration of subconscious and subtle differences which actually may have a bigger impact on us and our relationships than we think. And how personal culture can be, so she has that culture from growing up but she also has the level that she fits into her own culture and then everything will shift or expand or contract when she moves to a new place.
When I say culture some people think I’m talking about some holidays or customs but these discoveries are so much more interesting.
I hadn’t heard of the concept of the iceberg though. Very true!
I want to share this in the chat room too
I agree, when we say culture people think about the superficial things, something that can be seen.
The concept of cultural iceberg is floating around since we are not moving into a global ecosystem and it's something I've been reading quite a bit too. I asked myself a question "Do I still have my native culture in me or am I already a part of a global ecosystem where all culture is merged and creates a new one? ". When I mentioned about marriage for example, though there are different expectations because it was a custom, these days gender role in marriage almost everywhere required both, wife and husband to work.
Also, thanks for sharing it <3
