Professor Goody argues that the 'we-they' approach to the differences in the 'mind' of human societies prevents any serious discussion of human behaviour especially in 'traditional' societies. He attempts to provide the framework for a more satisfactory explanation by relating certain broad differences in 'mentalities' to the changes of communication and in the development of writing.
