Umwelt is Schutz's concept of "we-relationship" it is basically characterized by closeness, intimacy, and immediacy. The other, mitwelt, is the "they-relationship" which is characterized by distance, indifference and anonimity.
Yes. I looked for the members' patterns of behavior that I could categorize as umwelt and mitwelt. I found out that learning in the dojo is affected by the degree of their closeness to each other.
Cool. Was it an interesting study to do? Sorry, i seem to be getting a bit distracted. I'll concentrate on the Philipino MA's from now on! Though, now, i need to get on with some work...a lot to do today.
