The Mythology of Social Order

As human societies increase in complexity and number, so they become bigger and bigger. The pattern that the society takes, if it's going to be stable across long periods of time, starts to become incoted in the stories. And i think this is part of the reason why you see stable mythological motifs across different cultures. It's not so much like young said, that we have archetypes of what might constitute social order deeply imbedded in our unconscious. I think the situation is more externalized than that, in that what's biological is what we bring to the situation,. Our hopes and our desires, and the fact that we hopes and desires are biologically based.
