How Universal Is The Mind?

In fact, this conception of the mind is heavily influenced by a particular (Western) cultural background. Other cultures assign different characteristics and abilities to the psychological aspects of personhood. Wierzbicka (2005) delves into this problem in detail.

Important cross-cultural differences in meaning become lost in translation.
