You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."

- Ray Bradbury

This theme seeks to understand the role played by culture and communication in human society and identity. Why is it important to preserve our heritage as a community, a nation, or a world? What role does education play in cultural communities? How do cultural differences affect the way we communicate? These questions seek to understand what it means to be human in societies past, present and future.
