Editor's Notes
- Pregunto: qué diferencia entre japoneses y latinos? Entre colombianos y argentinos? Entre paisas y costeños? 2 conclusiones: 1) Siempre dijimos “ellos son así…” , nosotros no sabríamos decir qué es característico de nosotros y alguien de afuera sabría decirnos qué es lo nuestro. 2) hay infinitas culturas y subculturas y no se podrían aprender todas.

- Rech. A dolor: analgésicos, y creen en el Dr que les quita dolor, es present-oriented. Rech. a la causa no analgésicos y no creen en Dr hasta que les cure, y siguen mostrando cara de dolor x la enfermedad, future-oriented.
