  3. Seeing: The Eye/Brain System Biological Determinism Human character is determined by physical, biological characteristics, which are inherited. Racism and sexism both frequently employ the assumptions of biological determinism to divide people into groups which are alleged to differ in ability and inclination. Source:Maggie Humm, The Dictionary of Feminist Theory (Hemel Hempstead, 1989)

  4. Perception: Economic Determinism A theory in which economic factors determine non-economic spheres of life such as politics, religion, and ideology. Marx has frequently been characterized as holding to economic determinism Source: “The Myth of Marx’s Economic Determinism” was written for Marx Myths and Legends by Peter G. Stillman, in April 2005, and rights remain with the author, as per Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives Licence 2.0.

  5. Perception: Technological Determinism A theory in which the use and introduction of new technology is the prime cause of fundamental changes in society and the human psyche. “The medium is the message.” Marshall McLuhan Source:The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis Daniel Chandler http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Documents/short/whorf.html

  6. Perception: Cultural Determinism The conviction that the accumulated knowledge, the organized beliefs, and the way of life prescribed by a culture (seenoosphere) determines not only all other aspects of human cognition and social behavior but also the dynamics of the culture itself. Such a conviction sees culture as an autonomous cultural system. Krippendorff, Klaus 1986. Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems.
