17951 X), Michael Cole argues that, just as fish do not see water because they
swim in it, so humans do not see culture because we swim in it. The first part

that when psychology tried to become a science, it stopped thinking about the
culture in which individuals operate. As a result, he says, it has become
hopelessly flawed.
