Culture is like an iceberg. So much of culture lies just below and way below the surface. Stuff above the waterline are artifacts...things we can see about a culture. Just below the surface is what we say we do and what we really do. Deep below the surface, and only visible when we really stop, look, and listen, are the assumptions we make about other people and the world we live in. This level will sink you if you are not mindful.
