102 products on users ’ behavior . Also , with the knowledge acquired , there will be possible to characterize the product in a way that makes easier the introduction of a given product on a market .
Brief description of the model [ Nature – Man – Culture – Objects ] The cultural identities development could be explained using the complex relationships network [ N – M – C – O ], which is an anthropocentric model , since it considers individuals as the center of the cultural identities and the design processes , and heptadimensional , considering each of the relations among each of the four constituting elements as a dimension . The seventh dimension is time , axis used to project the model to fully understand the actions and relations in its interior in a chronotopos that allows us to see the evolving processes that condition its change dynamics .
Design , as a product of the cultural identities , must consider all of the relations that form the structure of the [ N – M – C – O ] model . Those relations could be expressed as : Man – Objects : These are the Use and handle relations , explain the modifications on the individual behavior of the user when he / she uses the object . Consider the communicative , and ergonomic . It explores the symbolic , the semantic and the syntactic elements in the objects .

Objects relation also explains on a historical basis the continuous cultural development trough objects , and the continuous development of objects because of the cultural evolution . Studies the impact a given object has in the cultural identities . Explores the dimensions in which products can create behavioral modifications on users in a way that is strong enough to significantly influence the user and user ’ s tribe .
