Ok, I tried to combine everything we have come up with so far.\u00a0 I altered the polar attitudes according to what you were saying Jason, but if I didn't say it the way you meant, you can just either edit this, or add a comment and I'll add\/replace things.\u00a0 I think we should try and find some political stuff maybe? It's possible that there isn't any, I don't remember finding it.\u00a0 We can also incorporate "professional politics" (the way people get along, so it kind of crosses over with social).\u00a0 And also, religious can include moral ideas, like strength of family and the values of the people.\u00a0 I'll add stuff too in a bit.<\/p>\n
