➔ One World ~ Many People with different cultures
A working hypothesis by Clive Burgess October 2012
Curious... looking beyond the obvious at the bigger picture
Society = the sum total of or an ensemble of social relationships...How do you define 'social' relationships?A 'relationship' is a quality which can be stated only of two or more entities together where each refers to the other, not of some single thing. 'Social' relationships are where some entity recognized as being 'social' that is people, organisations or societies, are constantly in interaction with each other at some level or another
Relationships may be physical, biological, social or cultural.
Example Physical: Cup and Saucer... Biological: Bird and an egg... Social: Husband and Wife... or Home and Work... Cultural: A noun and a verb
A relationship is an interaction between two people... a husband and a wife is a home relationship … a boss and a worker is a work relationship an interrelationship strictly speaking is a relationship between two relationships
A relationship between two relationships:...eg relationships in the home between husband and wife and relationships at work between a boss and a worker
Interrelationships are therefore relationships between relationships... a woman as a worker at work and the woman as a wife at home
By extension intra-relationships is an activity carried on within a relationship for example the wife having sex with the husband but not with her boss that would be extra-relationships...

“Information does not necessarily lead to increased awareness, and increased awareness does not necessarily lead to action. Information provision, whether through advertisements, leaflets or labelling, must be backed up by other approaches”.”
“Although thought maybe seen by some as subjective, it is the actions one takes by using ones own definition of the situation and the social relationships between the interactions of the participants and how others respond to the actions taken, which create socially real consequences”Clive Burgess 13th July 2005
