Document Summary

Not born with genetic map for how to behave in any society: humans are not pre-wired by anything. If it is - why are 50% of mothers not able to do it: bodies are driven but have to teach them - creates tension. We have to be taught what is and isn"t acceptable and the how to do things. Animals know how - but humans need to be taught how to have sex: learn about it in all the wrong ways. Personality can only tell us so much: cant explain how to learn to be a student - taught everyone the same. 2 needs - other humans and order. Social order is the sin qua non of the human condition: think of order as essential to the human condition, sin qua non - that without which. Order is maintained by teaching kids how to behave: kids must be able to move, talk, use facilities before school, have manners, obedient.
