What about culture?

I don't think of culture as a collection of songs, recipes and folktales that are hung on our psyches. Culture is not the wallpaper, but the walls themselves. Culture is the lack of female airline pilots and male secretaries. It is the unspoken fear and distrust of people different from ourselves who have done us no wrong. Culture is a universe of things we want without knowing or wondering why. Culture is all the questions that don't get asked.
