I don't exactly need the answer to these questions, but good sources that provide them.
- Political: Who is in charge? What is power based on? Who gives that person or group power? Is there a contract? What's the government structure? Are there significant wars, treaties, courts, or laws?
- Economic: How do people earn their food? Is it based on agriculture, commerce, small trade professions, or industry, like manufacturing or technology? Where's the money? What are valued and traded commodities? What technologies or industries define culture?
- Religious: What is the meaning of life? Where did the group come from? What happens when they die? How do they spend their lives? Who talks to god(s)? What are basic beliefs? Are there leaders or documents that define religion? Are there conversations? If so, how?
- Social: How does the group relate to one another? How do people communicate? What do people do together? How is thes group organized? What are the family and gender relations? Are there social classes? How do they live? Are there inequalities?
- Intellectual: Who are the thinkers? What groups are given the chance to learn? How do people learn? Where does knowledge come from? Also look at philosophy, math, science, and education.
- Artistic: How do they express themselves? What commitment to self- expression do they have? What technology or resources are given to art? Also look at art, music, writing, literature.
- Geography: IN what geographic region is this located? What geographic landscape makes up the region? How are the people/events effected by the geography? How do the people interact with their environment?
Thank you for your time.
