So, tell me about you, when you hear the words Jamaica and Jamaicans...what do you think?

The inhuman element inherent in the human condition
According to François Lyotard, in The Inhuman: Reflections on Time,
If humans are born human, as cats are born cats (within a few hours), it would not be [...] possible to educate them. That children have to be educated is a circumstance which only proceeds from the fact that they are not completely led by nature, not programmed. The institutions which constitute culture supplement this native lack.
How does this quotation relate to the discussion we've had in class about Laraia's notions of culture?
Which are these institutions that "constitute culture"?
