Overview:
In this week’s episode we tackle cultural based deductions and how you have to have a flexible knowledge base that adapts to the times so that you don’t make antiquated associations based on past norms. This is not the 1890’s so many of the deductions that Sherlock Holmes makes in the original cannon simply will not work in the 21’st century. Given the ever changing nature of our society it is imperative that one has a solid grasp of the underlying psychology of body language, and how people seek acceptance, as well as how that relates to specific cultures in the modern world.
