Every social circle has a circle civilisation.
- Explanation. A social circle does not presuppose complete agreement among the personal civilisations of its members. It does require sufficient civilisation elements relevant to that circle to be shared, so that common expectations, judgement, cooperation and cohesion are possible. In everyday functioning, members may recognise and follow that circle civilisation as self-evident without being able to formulate it consciously, completely or in detail. Which and how many civilisation elements are sufficient differs between social circles.
