He explained how the length of a coastline increases the smaller the ruler used for measuring. This has become known as the Coastline Paradox, since it suggests that the length of a coastline theoretically is infinite, or undefinable. These theoretical notions do not even consider the dynamic nature of planet Earth.
The concept of culture is hard to define, and it often varies depending on the purpose of the definition. However, in its most general meaning, culture refers to <em>the social behaviour and norms that are found in society</em>. Material culture covers the physical representations of it, such as art, technology and architecture, while immaterial culture are those intangible aspects, such as philosophy, religion, music or language.
The Internet has changed culture in several ways. The most obvious one is a process of <em>homogenization</em>, or of making all cultures similar to each other. As the internet sets trends, these trends are followed by people all over the world, regardless of their cultural background. This leads to people who are connected through the web to adopt similar styles of dress, music taste, food trends, etc. that might differ significantly from their own culture.
Another example could be the production of art, which is increasingly created online and shared instantaneously, making the spread of this type of culture easier, cheaper and faster. Arguably, the internet has also led to the spread of culture in the form of knowledge, as it gives everyone a chance to learn about any topic for free.
In the story of Don Quixote, Don Quixote acts like a knight trying to attack the windmills because he thought they were giants. Although this is a funny scenario, we can see the instances of chivalric values. First would be courage. Though he knew he was going up against "giants", he still went for the attack. This was also a display of faith in oneself and his convictions. He also believed that he had to attack the "giants" before they attacked the land. Another would be nobility. He decided to do this simply because it was a part of his own principles. Even if he knew that he was probably going to die, he stuck up to his own sense of justice. Of course, there would be justice. He believed that justice had to be upheld so that his imaginary enemies won't conquer. These are all values that knights had in their code of chivalry.
