The discussion regarding abrupt changes of or within cultures brings to mind Joseph Campbell's notion that mythologies (a significant element of what I think we refer to as culture) exist to help people adapt to/with the environment (primarily natural, but also cultural as with emigrant/imigrant communities)) in which they exit. Heavy stuff, but fascinating too. |
