This poster is on the wall upstairs in the building I work in. I love the implicit rejection of the viewer that can be read in it.

Really interesting, and at the same time, slightly depressing.

IE here -- This poster would be a good mascot for the controversy in this community around school district issues -- if a poster can be a mascot.
Agreed. I think it applies to a lot of things, actually.
Very cool poster. I need that in my office.
And our culture is not a failed attempt at being someone else either.
You are so enamored with other cultures, without giving your own credit.
You don't want to change them but you do want to change us.
Very contradictory.
Anon @ 9:39, I think you might be making a few claims sans evidence. Care to elaborate?
anon July 15 -- 9:39 a.m.:
The only culture we can change is our own. It is arrogant to try and change another's culture. It is all of our responsibility to work to change our own if we feel a need for change, which you may or may not.
I wasn't talking about positive change--meaning growth--I was talking about dismissive change, as if there is nothing of value in our own culture.
We are no good.
We are the bad ones.
We are the only ones who need to change.
All other cultures are wonderful and we are rotten.
We need to sit at their feet and absorb their wonderfulness until we can make it our own....
I was referring to that kind of "we need to change".
Since when have I said that? Mayhap you should paint with a finer brush...
anon -- I didn't get that impression from the poster, myself: I did not perceive it that way.
OK.
I over-reacted.
Had an emotional response instead of a logical one.
Sorry. I mean it.
IE here said: This poster would be a good mascot for the controversy in this community around school district issues...
Huh?
How specifically?
Because looking at culture broadly -- there are different socio-economic and urban/rural cultures, and various blending of the two, in Lebanon. How one perceives something -- one's own "truth" -- is colored by one's culture(s).
