Happy Winter Season:
DEADLINE & THEME FOR VOL. 18, #1-2, SUMMER, 2013, ISSUE
THEME: "WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO."
Theme: human behavior, rather than animal or plant
behaviors, boils down to action, to human activity: "Why We Do What We
Do." That's what makes it so damn interesting. Whether it's bungee
jumping, going to war, singing in the shower, peeling an orange,
trekking through the desert, throwing a tantrum, drinking sherry in
secret, making tortillas, or Saturday night sex, it's all of it
behavior, and all of it triggered by/in response to various mixes of
cultural norms, social pressures, personal history, survival instincts,
genetics, and brain chemistry!! In contrast, character—whether
personal, cultural, national (whatever) — is a subjective assessment (of
worth/lack of worth) based on behavior—i.e., the things a person, or
nation, does or doesn't do.
