I've recently been talking online with Mary Douglas, the well known Oxford professor of Anthropolgy. She has developed a theory of culture that I thought would be worth sharing because it seems to offer a view of HDS in action across large cultures within society.
The following diagram shows her distribution of people into various cultural types. I have overlaid, in red, the corresponding HDS stream.

If you Google Mary douglas group grid
you'll fiind more info than I could write. I've found it interesting to look at her work through the lens of HDS. Conversely, it's intersting to look at HDS through her group grid lens.
