One culture is based on science, structure, human engineering, sacrificing the identity & individuality of each for the good of all. The other based on raw passion, self centered and self serving, without the constraints of education, religion, and common good. One culture is ultimately all-powerful, the other powerless. (There is quasi-religious ritual in the Mexican village, but no religion - same as most churches in our culture.) Anyway, be careful not to read too many books with substance, they make you think.
