I think this is a great meme – culture as an operating system. You can choose what ever plug-ins work best for a given context. Even switch operating systems if the need arises to run a particular program – such as when learning a new language in a foreign country, you’d also need to learn the customs and etiquette which contextualize that language. The key I think, lies in maintaining a fluidness and openness to your own cultural programming, so that you might more readily adapt between contexts.

What are some ways that YOU might maintain your fluidity?
