An important effect of the roles of culture and individual experience in shaping people’s perceptions of the world is that people are likely to develop biases against other cultures or ways of life. This occurs because individuals interpret their surroundings and experiences through the lens of their cultural background and personal experiences, which can lead to misunderstandings or negative perceptions of cultures that differ from their own. These biases can influence social interactions, community dynamics, and broader societal attitudes towards diversity.
