Document Summary
Going backwards to see the general in the particular (seeing the bigger picture i. e. how personal issues extend to the public) An intersection of structure, history, and biography. Invited people to send postcards containing a secret from the person sending it. Lesson learnt: personal troubles reflect public issues: ex. student loans expensive education inequalities in regards to education access; unemployment economic downfall. However, the suffering of individual has become personalized > development of stereotypes, personality block (= consequence) As individual entities : personal troubles = micro, public issues = macro (ex. unemployment and welfare) We want to develop the right quality of mind so we can see our own circumstances within the larger context in which they occur (= solution) A set of statements that seek to explain or predict problems, events, behaviour (within a social context) More of a template that includes definitions and outlines the relationships between ideas regarding a certain phenomenon.
