Social Studies (General)

The two fundamental diversity premises, the secular or evolutionary on the one hand and the religious or unitary on the other hand determine whether you consider as dangerous, distrust and fight what is different at the surface or whether you celebrate diversity as an enriching asset, personally as well as collectively. And depending on the two assumptions you tend to co-create a corresponding social environment, as you externalize the two fundamental positions in daily life.
