It is agued that a particular author world view is always a part of a bigger cultural platform and as a consequence all the results of creators belonged to the same culture are to some degree preconditioned. The conditions in question are represented by a peculiar for a given culture conceptual framework which shapes very questions asked as well as the way they are answered.
