Regardign a list of fudnational myths that are shared by all industrial cities... I think I haver ead that lsit..s omewhere.. . but it was more like a reference to west mythology...
First you ahve the myuthologies that all humans share.. (you may call iit biological mythology je jeje if you wish).. like empathy, kinshio structure, dicotomies, hierarchy, space differentiation... etc...
Most of these myths are so improtant that we alle ruopenas have some parts inc ommon but soem parts not...
So the purely west-city (and probably now east city too) I would say existence of self (and therefore the punishemnt of isolation and a non-referenctial society), education out of family and existence of religion-ethics (somehow related with the equality fight present almost in every city) fill the list of thsoe which I can be sure are shared by urban west (east probably) people
I think I do forget a bunch of non-obvious myths that were in the list.. but I think I took them as not as much improtant as the other tree.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
I can't think of another term.
btw, I think at least some ET folks didn't grow up in a city--some of the americans--techno? ATinNM?--have a "hands on" attitude that I associate with smaller towns, smaller communities, where building (material construction) was there around them as they grew up--a man makes things with his hands-- Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
Now it's all sub-divisions, McMansions, and shopping malls :-( A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run
