This chapter deals with culture, which is defined, with mention of how race and culture might be conflated. Next follows various topics from aspects of culture to special cases of application. The analysis of cultures comes next As a case of importance, the McSally instance is mentioned. This is followed by the Mozart effect, the suggestions for cross-cultural socialising, and finding out more about HRAF. The chapter concludes with the observation that race and culture are often confounded, that one is free to choose some aspects of one’s life, but not others. Most importantly there are cultures that breach human rights, as set out by the UN and, as such, are to be deplored.
