One of the problems we have is that too many people firmly believe that all people think alike. They’re wrong.
I received my degree in Sociology back in 1989, before liberalism gained complete control of our education system. Most of our professors were older, one flew B-25 bombers in WW II. They could recognize BS when they saw it. Most of the students in class were adults already in the workforce, only a few were straight from high school – a couple had already been indoctrinated in liberalism and had trouble adjusting to the real world.
In our Cultural Anthropology classes we studied not only how people lived but also their cultural mores – how they thought and what they believed. It seems that part is ignored today.
I was fortunate enough to have a cultural anthropology professor who was also an unapologetic Roman Catholic by way of New York City and before that, Sicily. We learned dialectical materialism from the point of view that christian democracy is a sitting duck, a fat juicy target in the sights of those who think otherwise. His specialty was south Asia - namely India, Afghaistan and south of the Himalayas. Cultural determinism, magic and religion, and comparative religion were not taught from the secular humanist point of view. He was a godsend. The first few years I was in school in Indiana, there were SDS chapters organizing and burning down ROTC buildings right and left. Thank god for Roman Catholics and whatever they bring to the table.
