  • Summary

    Module 1 lays the foundation for understanding culture and cultural differences to be discussed later in the text by examining basic elements of the psychology of culture. Anthropological evidence suggests humans evolved cognitive enhanced capacities to facilitate social interaction, but which also made us unavoidably aware of our mortality. Cultures have increased in complexity and diversified, developing unique systems of values and ethics.
