The obvious questions, which I'm sure I am not the only one to notice are: 1: what are purely biological reasons? 2: if the individuals move do the external stressors still converge on the place where they use to be? You are using an implicit geographical analogy which deletes any reference to agency and implies that it is pure chance that these stressors converge on a particular place where the person happens to be. Surely not. ---------------------- David Andrew d.andrew-AT-unl.ac.uk or David-AT-mcraeandrew.demon.co.uk Faculty Coordinator of Developments in Teaching and Learning The Business School University of North London Holloway Road London N7 8HN tel 0171 607 2789 fax 0171 753 5051 --- from list marxism-psych-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
