During the middle ages some items that were traded were:
-wool<span> from England</span>
-fur from Russia
<span>-wood from Scandinavia</span>
-raw materials
-metals (iron, silver, lead)
-food
-rare items from foreign countries (linen, perfumes, spices)
I think the approach that often used is Constructivism.
Often times, in a specific society , there will be a characteristic of pattern and behaviors that are tolerated and the one that don't.
For example, in Eastern culture, it is not tolerated to call someone that is older solely by name.
The answer is; neutral.
