The textbook provides a scenario for assessing the role of culture in emotional reactions:
   A young wife leaves her house one morning to draw water from the local  well  as her husband watches    from the porch.  On her way back from the well,  a male stranger stops her and  asks for some water. She    gives him a cupful  and then invites him home  to dinner. The guest accepts.  The husband, wife, and guest     have a pleasant meal together.  In a gesture of hospitality the husband invites the guest to spend the night    with his wife. The guest accepts. In the morning the husband leaves early to bring home breakfast.  When    he returns, he finds his wife again in bed with the visitor. 
   How do men from different cultures define what an insult is? At what point in the story does the husband
feel angry?  Explain how the reactions depend on the culture of each person.

Men from most cultures feel angry in response to insult, but they disagree on what an insult is.
Men become angry at different points, depending on how their particular culture defines the situation.
