CyberHippie Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Good question...Not all behavior is learned. A boy, touching a hot stove, jerks his hand away and yells "Ouch"! His physical reaction may be instinctive, hence it does not derive from culture; but his exclamation is learned, for in other societies different expletives are used.
