Discussion of the capability in individuals
The ability to remember is an inherent capability that humans are hard-wired to utilize, both consciously as well as subconsciously.
Discussion of the capability in society
Memory is necessary for survival.
How it currently works
The resources that enable memory of a society include, but are not limited to:
- The educational systems put into place
- The media/internet
- Governing force(s)
- Religion(s)
- Libraries
- Language
Examples
- secondary schools (public and private), trade schools, universities, etc
- The information that is available for citizens to absorb dictates the ways in which a single person or a society will remember an event or sequence of events.
- Depending on your beliefs, your perception of reality in the context of remembering may alter from that of another society, or even citizens within the same society.
- Libraries hold keys, so to speak, to door ways of memories. Our history, culturally as well as globally. Eventual, cultural, and factual history plays a governing role in the ability of a society to make intelligent decisions for the greater good of that society. In regards to literature, we possess the capabilities to manipulate the memories that are portrayed as fact in the books that we read.
- Human language is stored within the brain.
Potential deficiencies
Memory and the ability to remember can be easily altered or reconstructed, both by outside sources as well as within the self.
