Proposition 015 – Selection of civilisation elements

An individual is continually presented with more civilisation ele­ments from sources than are selected for that individual’s personal civili­sation.

• Explanation. Persons, social circles, media, institutions and other sources continually present an individual with civilisation elements. Only some of them become part of the personal civilisation. Other elements are not noticed, not understood, forgotten, rejected or otherwise not selected. The selection process may be conscious or uncon­scious.
