Document Summary
Remember: weird participants are the majority so not sure if universal but these includes: who is doing even worse then you are. is doing better then you are. ( not many people do this) good in an unrelated domain (i. e. or good athlete or you beat me in tennis but you can"t beat me in squash) was made very poorly) vs. internal (i did bad because i didn"t study) a successful group to which you belong and you emphasize your connection to successfully performing others and feel better about ourselves by sharing in the warm glory of other"s success ( we won vs they lost when your favorite team loses) He argued that human behavior is necessarily interwoven with meaning. Events do not simply pinged themselves on us, it is our interpretation of what those events mean that motivates us to respond accordingly. He viewed capitalism to be derived from meaning from particular cultural context specifically protestant reformation.
