My Genius Hour Question is: How would and alien civilization view human
society?
At first this might sound like science fiction, but an outsider's view is a
great way to take a critical look at norms our society considers, well,
normal. While you could consider an extraterrestrial's view, you could also
look to the perspective of uncontacted tribes.
Why do we hold the imaginary lines that form a country's borders sacred?
Why do we form societal heirarchies?
Are any of these behaviours natural to life in the universe, or are they
learned?
I chose this topic because challenging our perceptions of normalcy in
our modern tribal culture can only lead to growth. If we understood how an
alien culture might conduct itself, perhaps we could learn to conduct
ourselves better as well.
