As a science student who loves art, this picture makes me sad. That's the real world right now. People are so blind with outer fake beauties with no values. 😔

"Cultural Iceberg" (CI) :
CI is a description of visible (surface) culture and invisible (deep) culture as a floating iceberg.
CI was invented by Edward T. Hall in the 1970s .
Explaination by May Richel :
- It is easy to adapt to the surface differences of culture.
- It is difficult to adapt to the unseen part.
- Some ESL (English as a Second Language) learners cannot express what they really mean;
- Sometimes, it unintenionally leads to "Out of Manner".
- It is important to to know the fact about different belief systems in a country you have a plan to stay or interact with different people in unfamilar (new) society.
