This kind of learning actually becomes part of your body,
so that we don't even need to think about it.
We refer to it as, not surprisingly embodied culture.
When you grow up here in the United States and you attend public schools you learn by
heart words that connect you to the culture and to the country in particular.
What we call the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Now those of you who aren't from this country, sometimes is very shocking when
you hear a crowd of people all of a sudden chanting the pledge all in unison.
That pledge and the ability to recite it, have become part of the American culture.
We'll generally be talking, in this course,
about three kinds of things we learn from other people.
First, ways of behaving and speaking.
Think of using a stud gun on an assembly line, or dribbling a soccer ball,
or, for that matter, the Pledge of Allegiance in the United States.
We'll give many examples later.
Second, and
a littler hard to understand, we learn how to think or reason about the world.
And also even how to feel about it.
A medical doctor might learn to recognize a patient's symptoms
as the manifestation of a specific disease, and
correspondingly reason about the proper cause of medical treatment.
