WORLD SYSTEMS
Worlds Collide/We are influenced/Everyone learns/Empirical/Balance/Communication
Our worlds are all different. We can be anything we want to be, or so we are told. In this page 'World Systems' presents an idea that people have a collection of externalities that they call their life. How does it work?
Imagine your a joiner. You get up in the morning as the alarm rings and you head for a shower. You get your breakfast, your wife says goodbye and then head for work in your van. Your workmates catch up with you at work and your boss gives you jobs for the day. You go to several houses to do your job that day. A lawyers, a waiters, a teachers, and a pensioners. As you enter ther houses you enter into their worlds.
The idea of World Systems is that each person has their own world within the world we know, and at times throughout our day those worlds come together. In that process the seperate worlds influence each other by passing on things from the different worlds. This may occur from simple thing like sharing a story to more complex things such as advice or skills being given. All in all society is maintained by people interacting with other peoples worlds to make the one world.

Evolving mechanisms
Everyone has something to offer another person in the way of skills, knowledge and other passing of information. However it is getting faster with the internet and more streamlines communication. If we are all influenced by each others worlds then is it possible that the meeting and sharing on the internet will make our species one personality and one type of human being one day? That is something for a future disscussion but worth while planting the seed in your head for thought.
The world system idea relies on us all having an interpretation of what makes up our lives. Whats important in our lives is usually things like family,career, hobbies, friends and interests that come into our lives at different points. All these things make our individual worlds up. We identify what makes our world and we set out to maintain those things.
