"If the people did not make a symbol and a slogan out of blood inheritance, we would still be united by common beliefs, social norms and a worldview - culture as a psychological whole." Emphasizing the main advantages of our culture and recognizing the values of other cultures, we sometimes forget about the past; we contrast particular aspects not only with "them", "others", neighbors, but also with our own history. Ruth Benedict speaks of the need to look deeper: to see not only the unique configuration of intra-cultural elements for each community, but also the overall content. To understand the exceptionality of each civilization.
Despite the fact that Benedict used local American and New Guinean ethnographic materials, her work served as a model and incentive for anthropologists around the world to study the relationship between culture and personality in various parts of the world, to form a fundamentally different view of the study of social institutions.
