Punjab Urial: Does an important aspect of the concept of culture have to do with what people focus on? Flow

Scott

Does an important aspect of the concept of culture have to do with what people focus on ...

e.g. Hindus in India 500 years focused on farming and Hindu ways of thinking, Gods & Goddesses, and family, social life ...

and people in the modern world significantly focus on the media, and now choice of URL with infinite web site addresses ?


Friend:

I think you left out a word there. How about:
"HOW does ..." a yes or no answer is unworthy of such a question ;).


Scott:

agreed :) ... and, in my readings, anthropology hasn't focused explicitly on this ...

and I'm particularly interested in how the choice aspect of what people focus on works ...

In what ways were individual Hindus 500 years ago, for example, choosing their 'flow' (Csikszentmihalyi) experiences from a cultural fabric of family life, gods & goddesses etc, and how can we, with the internet and family, etc., choose our 'flow' experiences, to lead to rocking out ...


or creating World University ...
