There's an unstated assumption that could be clarified:
- our culture is superior to some others
- our culture is superior to most others
- our culture is superior to all others
My answer would change depending on which of these I thought the question was asking. Would a native French speaker make a different assumption from a native English speaker? Would linguistic differences make all three equally possible in Spanish but only one possible in German? In other words, is it possible that language difference is significantly distorting our ability to spot attitude difference on this question?
- asperous 13y agoAlso remember that most people don't study culture and might think that means along the lines of "well my friends / people in my area are generally nice but I heard people in other countries are raping and killing each other". What I'm trying to say is that as part of the study, asking people who responded what they thought culture meant might be really valuable to gauging the value of this question.
