The author of "The People Puzzle" seeks answers to the mysteries of human nature by delving into the factors that shape our attitudes, actions, and psychological well-being. A person's moral compass determines how they behave. Individuals have different values because they have developed their own unique worldview based on their experiences in the past and present. The experiences one has in life contribute to the development of his moral compass. Consequently, the major events that occur during a generation's first decade of life in a culture have a profound effect on shaping that generation's values. If more people could just get that concept, they'd be able to talk to each other much more effectively.
