This week, as we continue to read what happens to the family in Wild Swans, we'll watch the Youtube documentary from just before 55:00 to 59:00.
How do ideas become taken up quickly in society, and then spread to large numbers of people? How does society 'agree' to a common set of ideas? Once an idea is taken up by large numbers of people, how do those ideas become reproduced for children in the next generation? If people wanted ideas to change direction or take on new meanings, how could they impose that?
There are no final answers to these types of questions, but look around you at the society and the groups of people we know, and let's see if we can come up with some responses.
