Culture and Social Theory

Meer over het boek

Grid-group theory, developed by Aaron Wildavsky and Mary Douglas, explores how cultural frameworks shape individuals' perceptions and behaviors within society. The theory categorizes people based on their social structures and values, aiming to understand how these classifications influence decision-making, risk assessment, and community dynamics. By examining the interplay between individual autonomy and group identity, the authors provide insights into cultural diversity and conflict, offering a lens through which to analyze social phenomena and policy-making processes.
