Clare W. Graves

• Briefly, what I am proposing is that the
  psychology of the mature human being is an
  unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling
  process marked by progressive subordination of
  older, lower-behavior systems to newer,
  higher-order systems as mans existential
  problems change.

Introducing the meme

• The evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in the
  mid 1970s proposed -
• The evolution of culture should be considered as
  independent from genetic or biological evolution
  but it has similar characteristics
• He coined the term meme to mean units of
  cultural transformation
• Examples of memes are
• Songs
• Ideas
• Fashion
• Architecture

Introducing the vMeme

• The Richard Dawkins definition of meme is
  referred to in Spiral Dynamics as the little meme
• In Spiral Dynamics we use the vMeme which refers
  to
• A core value system, a world view, an organizing
  principle that permeates thought structures,
  decision-making systems and various expressions
  of culture
