Cultural Model Idea

Paul Gee in his book titled, " What Video Games Have to Teach Us," explains that a cultural model is made out of "images, story lines, principles, or metaphors that capture what a particular group finds "normal" or "typical" in regard to a given phenomenon." What I get out of this is that as groups of people we see things differently. In other words, a group of people can be a family unit, a community, a church congregation, an ethnic group, a political party, etc. Depending on what your group of people believes, you will have an opinion on a subject that might be completely different from the point of view of a different group of people. For example, different Christian churches will have different point of views of what it is to be a good Christian. It all depends on what a specific church claims to be the actions of a "good" Christian.
