I agree with Janet in regards to people's intentional worlds. I find that it is impossible that two people can create the exact same 'map'. Even if such people were to share the exact same experiences, the way they interpret these experiences differ, therefore creating different maps.
To what Jen said earlier:
Also, if everyone were to live in the same semantic environment and used the same language, would there be less arguments and more cooperation?
This question seems to go with the famous question of whether a person is a result of the environment he/she grew up in or whether the environment doesn't matter at all. To clarify: would a brave person, who grew up taming tigers, still end up brave, even if the person grew up in a completely different way?
Unfortunately, I have been wondering about that question for a while now, and still don't have a clear response.
