My thoughts as well Dave

I plan on exploring the boundaries between the macro/micro connection....by somehow suggesting that culture is the 'exhaust' of human interaction over generations....one could use the analogy of say...hmm how to explain this without a diagram :p



...... ........ ........ <--culture, less dense (unconscious)

So, the idea is that every moment of every life we create culture, through the imposed ways that culture has created us. But because we are all unique, different, and the products of different life histories, we are always creating culture but based on the desicions we make every moment of every life. Realities within cultures, can be the products of bad choices over generations (mainly, by those with more power).

Anyway it is something that i am working on...i may do my honor's thesis on the Construction of Scientific Knowledge, using the notions of Bourdieu, his Habitus and Practice....to show how facts and knowledge and patterened versions of realities, like anything else. SO it is important to question things

The above idea, would be a combined mixture of universal laws with individualistic concerns...
