How do you think the world works, in its Socio-Economic Processes? On what evidence? How does your household function? Your family? Your town ... county, province, state, country ....? How would you know? Or, what are some indicators?

What are some interesting sub-cultures in your country? In other countries?

What are some of the stronger socio-economic groups/communities in your country? What are their loyalties? How would you know?

If government agencies and most private corporations have a policy of only disclosing information on a "need- to-know" basis, what good reason is there for any of us to not do likewise?

A good career: Combining Engineering and Business Administration .... Preferably with an emphasis on Work Co-ops.
