Brown, Les

To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. As a result of a combination of innate ideas and the intimate influences of the culture and environment we grow up in, we come to have beliefs about the nature of being human.

We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.
