Teaching "Nuts and Bolts": Use of Cross-Cultural Material in Identifying Problems and Exposing Assumptions.
Durham, Alexis M., III
Teaching Sociology, v18 n2 p164-70 Apr 1990

Suggests that using cross-cultural, comparative material is a means of stimulating the critical energy of students, and subverting the tendency toward uncritical acceptance of factual "nuts and bolts."
