The cultures presented in the lecture: Incas, Mayan and Aztec all had fascinating features, some alike and some different. All three cultures depend heavily on agriculture so they all invented different farming techniques that worked best for their geographic locations. The Inca located at the center of modern Peru where the empire hugged the slopes of the mountains in South America came up with terrace farming to maximize their land usage. Located on the Yucatan Peninsula, the Mayan were lucky enough to have flatter land where they can just burn down forests to plant crops. Out of the three cultures, I find the Aztec the most fascinating because they built floating gardens instead of having the garden on flat land.

Therapists must access their own internal process such as their feelings, attitudes and moods. Therapists’, who are not receptive to the awareness of their flow of thoughts and feelings, will not be able to help clients be aware of theirs (Kahn, 1997, p. 40).
