"If a nation did not make a symbol and slogan out of blood heredity, we would still be united by common beliefs, social norms, and worldviews - culture as a psychological wholeness." In emphasizing the chief virtues of our own and recognizing the values of other cultures, we sometimes forget the past; contrasting private aspects not only of "them," "the others," our neighbors, but also of our own history. Ruth Benedict speaks of the need to look deeper: to see not only the unique configuration of intracultural elements for each community, but also the cumulative content. To understand the exceptionalism of each civilization. Although Benedict's work was based on localized American and New Guinean ethnographic materials, her work has served as a model and stimulus for anthropologists around the world to study the relationship between culture and the individual in very different parts of the world, and to develop a fundamentally different perspective on the study of social institutions.
