Social Relativity
This is more or less a generalization of what I am currently writing a paper on. There is a maxim somewhere which states that"the observer perturbs the observed merely by observing it." While this applies in mathematical principle to quantum mechanics, it can also be applied to real life. Our locations dictates that we have certain experiences, ideas, inclinations, and lenses. For example, a kid raised in New York will have a different opinion of what corn is than someone who grew up on a farm in the breadbasket of the US. To one, it would be a potential source of new fuel and something his mom occasionally would make him eat. To the other, it would be a way of life - it puts bread on the table in his house by being one of the primary sources of income for his family.
