Welcome to the Hub for Cultural Rituals & Society!
Why do we do the things we do? Why do we wear a specific colour for one ceremony but break plates for another? Why is one display of affection ‘romantic’ while another is seen as ‘indecent’?
Our societies are built on a foundation of invisible rules, shared rituals, and powerful social constructs that we rarely stop to question. We just accept them as “the way things are.” This hub is where we stop.
Here, we pull back the curtain on the “normal.” We investigate the fascinating, strange, and complex social scripts we live by. From the unwritten rules of public affection to the global concept of “population control,” we’ll explore how our collective beliefs and traditions shape our world.
Stop. Think about the social rules and traditions you follow every day.
Think. Where did they really come from? Who do they serve?
