A north carolina segregationist who graduated college in say 1940 saw their political stance go from moderate & mainstream to fringe in their own lifetime. The fact that social-political culture norms shift isn't a very interesting or useful statement about the people it shifts around.
- shwaj 3y agoMaybe not when it shifts in a lifetime, but I beg to differ when it shifts in less than 10 years. It was also not meant to be an interesting statement about the person, rather the shift itself.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThen make the statement. You're implying it and then expecting us to do the work for you.
- concordDance 3y ago> The fact that social-political culture norms shift isn't a very interesting It's a fascinating fact people should dwell on more imo. Understanding how moral fashions change and why would be great.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThe rest of that sentence is important don't cut it out! It's not an interesting observation about the individuals; it certainly is about the cultures though. Sociologists and historians both spend tremendous amounts of time on this, some devote their enter careers to small facets of this single dynamic.
