>Do you see a connection between sacrifice and redemption? And between redemption and sin?
Well, there is a question and a half! I might try to come back to that later.
>How is conflict handled in the Andean cultures?
What I really noticed was that people did not seem concerned with what other people thought. I walked past a couple of siblings (I think) the other day here and they were doing the predictable thing of arguing about 'what it is'. (It's this! No, it's that!)
Firstly I noticed the greater than usual for us physical contact between babies, kids and parents. They just touch each other a lot. And so kids seem unusually friendly to me. And this extends to a kind of cultural gentleness. When there is conflict, I imagine it to be real violent conflict or more likely simply not acknowledged, not referred to, not acted on. Here people define themselves by their opinions. I will put a link to another post I did following this.
