## Cultural Vibes

**Purity**- Purists desire to preserve and improve upon their society against the tides of time.

**Harmony**- Harmonists desire to adapt and manipulate their society to fit the coming tides of time.

**Supremacy**- Supremacists desire to overtake and overcome the coming tides of time.

**Hybridization**- Hybridized ideological viewpoints exist which involve a society holding a triangular spectrum of belief of these three primary beliefs, and sitting in-between the three at a particular level.
