Specific connections to science and personal studies will be explored as this site develops.

Sociology including social structure and change will be useful in these studies. Communities including Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, and New York City may provide examples. Peoples of the world including Asiatic peoples and African peoples can be connected. Nations including China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Russia will have examples. Western civilization including the United States will have examples. American Indian peoples including those found in the United States have fewer examples. The history of cultural institutions is interesting. Whether they existed in prehistory and antiquity is somewhat obscure, but they were present in classical and medieval times. In modern times they have grown considerable. In the 16th century, libraries began to expand as printed materials became available. In the 17th century, this growth continued and likewise in the 18th century. In the 19th century, museums and arenas and auditoriums also developed. Details of the early 19th century, early mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late-mid 19th century, and late 19th century can be considered. In the 20th century with rapidly developing technology, these continued to develop substantially. Details of the early 20th century, early-mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late-mid 20th century, and late 20th century can be considered. The early 21st century including early 2000s and late 2000s is also useful. Their future is obscure.
