Do you think the social aspects of a society are, or can be just as important as the political and economic aspects? Can something like a sport, or a beer, a meal, a style even, permeate a society enough to have a profound impact on it? In about two paragraphs, tell me what you think? I would say yes, because I grew up in an era when basketball was hitting its most popular point in China, and even when clothing was defining an era, but you can certainly so no! Just tell me why and give examples when you can!

That stuck with me, and I turned to ask my wife why she thinks baseball might stick in a place, but another sport does not? Why do Americans seemingly love football and basketball, but hesitate being drawn towards hockey (again, this is just a generalization and does not apply to all)? She obviously ignored me, but I wat to take the question a bit further with you. So that leads me to ask...
