Age Affects How People Experience

We Should Never Denigrate Any Other Culture But Rather Help People To Understand The Relationship Between Their Own Culture And The Dominant Culture. When You Understand Another Culture Or Language, It Does Not Mean That You Have To Lose Your Own Culture.

People Are Tied Together And Yet Isolated From Each Other By Invisible Threads Of Rhythm And Hidden Walls Of Time. Time Is... A Primary Organizer Of All Activities, A Synthesizer And Integrator, A Way Of Handling Priorities And Categorizing Experience, A Feedback Mechanism For How Things Are Going, A Measuring Rod Against Which Competence, Effort, And Achievement Are Judged As Well As A Special Message System Revealing How People Really Feel About Each Other And Whether Or Not They Can Get Along.

The Essence Of Cross-cultural Communication Has More To Do With Releasing Responses Than With Sending Messages. It Is More Important To Release The Right Response Than To Send The Right Message.

Each Organism, No Matter How Simple Or Complex, Has Around It A Sacred Bubble Of Space, A Bit Of Mobile Territoriality Which Only A Few Other Organisms Are Allowed To Penetrate And Then Only For Short Periods Of Time.

We Are Only Peripherally Tied To The Lives Of Others. It Takes A Long Long Time For Us To Become Deeply Involved With Others, And For Some This Never Happens.
