Generations of Beliefs


As a child we observe our surroundings, whether; people, atmospheres, temperatures or whatever else, we learn some of our basic knowledge from that time period before we can converse with our peers. Our ideas and images are formed with in us before we have the ability to realize this. As time continues our understandings of these things become more and more extensive. Then there are your parents, they give you generation after generation of pre-constructed notions whats good, whats bad, and whats morally correct.
I believe this can be related to The Found Document article in The Lebowski Studies. Today's generation uses preconceived notions of who people are and what type of character they want to be. We use what has already been learned by past ancestors to sculpt how we see the world today. This is how our ideas continue throughout our history changing only merely as time continues.
