"Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope."
- Margaret Thatcher

To create change in any industry or field we must first create an understanding of how we arrived where we are and what variables led us into our current situation. Cultural studies and the psychology of culture are the fundamental basis for research of political, economical and social phenomena. The field of cultural psychology was created as a logical step of political and social leaders to create policy and social action to help better the lives of people and to hopefully avoid mistakes we've made in the past.

Masters programs in psychology of culture and cultural studies are teaching students to understand how certain cultures arrived where and they are, how to predict where certain cultures are headed and how to alter the direction of cultures that are going in the opposite direction of progress.
