A mentality is a habit of mind that is common to occupants of a particular world
It encompasses terms cliches theories hyphenates and everything needed to create an explicit social entity aka world
There are millions of worlds
Only when one exits his or her world definitively is there awareness of this at the existential level
A realized habit of mind is rare but within a world the language and terms are generally well enough understood to make something like conversation possible
Unfortunately as suggested communication tends to stop at a particular world's end
And as I said there are millions of worlds
We perhaps need a sociology of mentalities in order understand see how the phenomenon of Babel continues to inhibit the spread of reason between worlds
