Lima, Peru has just passed a law that residents in the city can only own one dog. This is an interesting clash of values for us as residents of the U.S.A. What can we learn about Peruvian attitudes toward community, personal responsibility and concepts of freedom from this legislation?
And what can we learn from the fact that no similar ban exists for cats?
Meanwhile, in China we see winged cats. I'm not kidding, and no, it's not a hoax. *
Also in China we can see evidence of the difference between a guilt-based and shame-based culture as a major city decides the easiest way to deter jaywalkers is to post pictures of the jaywalkers in the newspaper.
*It's just matted hair. Sorry to wreck the illusion.
