Feb. 18th, 2005 07:04 pmThere is a theme that is risen again and again in our study, across all relevant disciplines. The similarities between our peoples are truly profound and consequently serve to make the differences all the more shocking. It is as though our modern day societies took our collective cultural experiences... all of our shared history... and learned from it completely different lessons. One could expect then, a feeling of... alienation from the subjects of our study. This is not so. Our researchers have, instead, come to identify very strongly with their counterparts, On the other side of the curtain. The rhythm we occupy seems to be a long period of comfortable familiarity with a counterpoint of sudden, and often sharp, culture shock.
