English term
collective programming
Geert Hofstede defined culture as "the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one category of people from another." The key expression in this definition is collective programming. Although not as sinister as brainwashing, with its connotations of political coercion, it nevertheless describes a process to which each one of us has been subjected since birth (some people would say even before birth, but that is a little deep for me).
The author of the book defines "collective programming" as "the way a particular group of people or nationalities is trained from a very early age to internalize the behavior and attitudes of the group".
I tried to translate the expression with "programmazione mentale collettiva culturale", but actually it doesn't convince me at all.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
