There is an interesting line of analysis offered by Didier Lapeyronnie of social behaviors in France's ghettoes. He makes a similar point about dress and manners for women who live in the ghetto but work outside. Take a look at the posting on segregation in France. There are a couple of interviews with Lapeyronnie linked there (in French).Dan Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953897221283103880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-31011586970155368832008-12-30T10:48:00.000-05:002008-12-30T10:48:00.000-05:00Very interesting diagram.

For example, a secretary in an upscale organization (a nonprofit foundation, venerable law firm) who must dress well, comport herself according to the class standards of those around her, but goes home to a laborer husband or family whose cultural choices are far removed from those of her bosses. This happens often in the African American community. <BR/>In any even this has little do to with your diagram but the excellence of your diagrams lies in its provoking of such thoughts.HRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198683269159988226noreply@blogger.com
