A Cappuccino, With a Shot of Postmodernism For the purpose of identifying prevalent contemporary cultural scripts, I am indebted to a book by Steve Wilkens and Mark L. Sanford, entitled Hidden Worldviews: Eight Cultural Stories that Shape our Lives. The authors have two main theses, which resonate strongly with me: 1. World- and life-view is, for most people, absorbed unconsciously via daily social/cultural interactions (imbibed via “coffee at Starbucks”); 2. Worldviews all have story at their core. The story shapes identity and behavior.
