Почему земля круглая

Судя по ЖЖ и ФБ, очень трудно объяснить мужчинам, выросшем в России/СССР, почему поведение Трампа в отношении женщин непозволительно в Америке, тем более, для кандидата-республиканца. В Америке НЕ работает принцип Ницше: "Счастье мужчины называется 'Я хочу". Счастье женщины называется 'Он хочет'."

Identity functions - US, Russia

One way to discover identity functions in social systems is to see what people perceive as return to normal. For example, Trump's appeal to make America great again by building a wall on the border with Mexico or setting up barriers to free trade is not working. Therefore, we can see that isolationism is not an identity function for the US:

f: A -> B (America participates in globalization);
g: B -> C (America builds walls on the border and withdraws from globalization);
C ≠ A, therefore g º f ≠ 1_A

Now, let's consider the discussion in ivanov_petrov where people try to determine an identity function for a Russian, e.g. "Да, русский - это тот, кто знает Евгения Онегина и Пьера Безухова."

I think this is a "советская интеллигенция"-centric point of view, because for this social group only removing or adding great Russian-language literary works makes a difference. I'd argue that in the modern Russian culture television plays a much greater role. That is, replacing Eugene Onegin and War and Peace with "17 мгновений весны" и "Брат -1,2" would be greeted with applause by most students and the younger generation of educators.
On the other hand, Russia's successful return to authoritarianism indicates a much deeper identity shared across multiple social groups, up to 90% of the population (from Moscow to Chechnya  to Vladivostok).

f: A -> B (Russia introduces democratic institutions);
g: B -> C (Russia introduces autocratic rule);
C = A, therefore g º f = 1_A

We can say that a true Russian is the one who accepts autocratic rule as the normal state of affairs in the country.

A 3,000 - year-old teenage behavior problem

“Nausikaa, how could your mother have a child so careless?
The shining clothes are lying away uncared for ” --- The Odyssey, approx.

“His desk, the night stand, his computer desk, his dresser. You cannot walk without stepping on clothes, cords for charging things, cologne and body-spray bottles. He does paintball. That stuff is all over.” --- NYT, Oct 12, 2012.

Something out of nothing

I think this is an amazing pushout structure.
