Proposition 002 – Personal civilisation is learned

Personal civilisation is learned.

• Explanation. A personal civilisation is not a configuration that is formed once and sub­sequently remains fixed. Throughout life it is formed and changed by, among other things, upbringing, education, relationships, expe­riences, media, institutions and partici­pation in different social circles. Civili­sation elements may be adopted, internalised, in­terpreted, strength­ened, weakened, modified or rejected. The process through which this oc­curs is called civilising in this theory.
