Arguing that humans, the so-called clever species, should not completely in command of their very own proposal methods, this new viewpoint on human habit and heritage, referred to as meme concept, arises from the guidelines of neo-Darwinism. This booklet explores the proposal that principles will not be easily phenomena that take place within the human mind yet are self-replicating courses that unfold from person to person. Meme conception says that throughout the similar strategy as normal choice, trust structures have the ability to construct social constructions, keep watch over financial platforms, and harness the strength of people to advertise their very own lifestyles. trust structures' primary strength lies of their skill to form the individual's view of reality-determining the individual's interpretation of his or her perceptions-and to take advantage of gaps in human wisdom to perpetuate their very own survival.

In order to communicate these tenets from one brain to another they have to be coded in a form that human brains can understand. That code is called language. Just as a the instructions in a computer program put the computer into a certain state, language may be generally taken to be a set of sounds, symbols or images that put the human mind into a certain state. That state may involve the existence of certain images in the mind of the recipient, an alteration of the recipient’s memory structures or some behaviour on the part of the recipient.
5. Ideas that are expressed in written form outlast nonwritten ideas and can be revived even after long periods of inactivity. This is not to say that written material is not subject to change. In the ancient world many texts had to be translated from language to language and underwent changes in the process. Translators often made mistakes or misunderstood figures of speech and linguistic conventions in the original language. It has been suggested that Cinderella’s slipper was originally made of fur but a mistranslation or a miscopy rendered it as ‘glass’.
First, it allows for much more information to be transmitted in much more detail. Second, it allows for the standardisation of the material across wide areas of time and distance. Third, a religion that is written down will survive when others that exist only LIVING BY THE CODE 49 in oral form have perished along with their followers. Consider for a moment the fact that the Old Testament, whose earliest stories are at least 5000 years old, is still read and, in some cases, literally believed by millions of people today while the religions of other peoples living in the world at the same time, or even more recently, have been largely forgotten.
