As a student in South Asian languages, culture and history, specialising in comparative cultures and cognitive science, I take special interest in the influence of cultural paradigms in the perception and interaction with the world in terms of development. I am also a polyglot with a strong passion for learning languages, including programming languages such as Python. Also I am firm supporter of unix and free software.

To what can we trace the idea of “civic responsibility”? Brilliant and concise answer! Thank you :) Any specific titles of Gramsci and Foucault I should look into? |

To what can we trace the idea of “civic responsibility”? Also it is important to distinguish the existence of ideas in literature and their actual enactment in society. Even the idea of civic responsibility exists in Rome, did it exist in practice continuously from then till now, or was it interrupted and then re-introduced? |

To what can we trace the idea of “civic responsibility”? I am interested here in societies where the idea of civic duties and participation in the construction of a state / public common is wide spread and includes all levels of society. For instance--and you may disagree--we accept and follow traffic rules because we know that an ordered traffic will contribute to our own ease of transport. Also I will not dump my trash in the middle of the street because I know it will disturb my neighbours and my relationship with them. These behaviours are not everywhere observable: can we trace ideas underlying them historically / regionally? |

What surface area per person is required for hunter-gatherers? Yes exactly, I didn't expect one number indeed, but an approximate depending on roughly defined habitats. |
