ETIC PERSPECTIVES: PERCEPTION
With the fact that, our better way to understand a culture, is our perseption about it, we got to face the fact, that there will be a lot of culture products, many of them are completely, far away of our capacity of a correct etic perspective, but this isn't a permanet disapoinment. In more we move in a new culture, more we learn.
the perspectives are as tools, even when there be some difficults to used, as long as we do, we can use them better, we can learn to made it, more flexible, more elocuent.
THREE POINTS OF VIEW ON CULTURE
The funcionalist view:
The thing know it as "reality". Is linked with the facts, that are normal in our life, as the meaning of some kind of place, his importance in the culture. but also in the ideas, the formed identity, of the culture, the expressions, the beliefs, the sence of belong to a national identity.

As you said before... "every head is a world" and those different perspectives on our sorroundings are what make us so unique as individuals. At the same time, the views that we share unite us in different communities and guide the practices that we carry on in each one of them. The examples that you mention are very good ones because they make this dense subject easier to understand.
