Crying- handsome man- Japan

- Implied- gender roles and gender binaries- men were not involved in studying (men do
not cry), women involved in crying study, men crying is disapproved of, service geared
to women and women feel they are prohibited from crying except in this domain in which
the handsome man can bring them to tears
- Cultural ideas and ideals of beauty, especially beauty about people- what a handsome
man should look like, ideal beauty associated with described features, region with
stereotypically male beauty associated with it (space and place associated with beauty
ideals) Okinawan
- Music- sad, calm, not music you dance to or party with, traditional feel (folk music)
- All observations are surface observations that point to some realities but do not make
points of understanding
- Important thing to note about culture is- the more experience and knowledge you have
the more understanding you have towards he culture

goals of groups, other cultures hold the opposite view
World view

questions which are often hard to find and lead us to spirituality
- Religion comes to be extremely important to consider because of its influence historically

- Similarly, the spread of Islam is prominent in north Africa, middle east, central Asia,
Indonesia etc.
- India is predominantly Hindu- Buddhism started in India

- First 300-500 years of Christianity, people were slaughtered because Christianity was
seemed as a cult as people who followed Christianity were very enthusiastic
