4. Good, now I don't have to learn about other people's culture, since we
are all the same.

5. Culturally different.
All unique.

That is all. (All, that is, of the proof by vigorous assertion and smug assurance that if you'll only just look you'll see the clear truth of what I'd said that I've got for you for now.)

6. Yeah, I didn't put a lot of text in there did I?
It occurred to me that there was no real difference between a football fan and parishioner. They're both just members of a tribe. Then political parties occurred to me. Then employees of corporations...

Images do that, even when they're just cut and paste.

8. Good god no.
A papal tiara, an everyday muslim hat, an ultra-posh western ladies hat, a football supporter's joke hat, what I suspect is a hindu wedding headdress and a McDonald's uniform hat have completely different significances.

At a minimum, you have hats there that say "I am important", "I am taking part in a special day", "I support a cause", "I am respectable" and "I am not important", and even that is grouping them very loosely indeed.

And with arguably a couple of exceptions, all of those are cultural hats; you haven't even started on images of hats worn for practical purposes - you should do a second one with ancient and modern soldier's helmets, some different sunhats, a burnoose, an eskimo's fur hood, a solar tope and so on.
