  • Observing the rules and discussing what the rules should be
     OP - October 03, 2012, 09:40 PM
    I am reading Richard Sennett Together, where he discusses child development and that children first learn the rules and then as they get older negotiate the rules.  I remember that I quite clearly moved from religiously following the rules of Monopoly to adapting them slightly.  I still find that if playing monopoly I might do something that is a family tradition, that causes horror to strangers!

    And this ability to negotiate is a key skill in learning to co-operate with others

    This might be an obvious observation, but might religious teachings actually affect the members of a society's ability to co-operate with each other?
    When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
