How a society is perceived by other societies

A culture is a way of perceiving reality. Do not be misled by the verb “perceive”. Some might think that, if the objective reality of a culture is the same, its perception must also be unique for all individuals. But perception is a subjective phenomenon, and what is perceived is not the photograph of reality, but one of the many possible photographs. The individual’s experience also influences her perceptive modalities.
