Synchronization pattern

Religious groups, organizations and families work similar: during ordinary days, each member lives in his own world, but during special days all members share for a moment the same world, when they are taking part in ritual processions or meetings. In religions these are 'holy' or 'sacred' days, usually in churches, temples or public places, in families these are weekends, holidays, and feasts, and in organizations these are meetings, assemblies and gatherings. Nations have their national holidays, armies their shows and military parades. Politicians have their party congresses, and scientists their conferences. All of them are important if individuals want to act together as organized and disciplined units. During the ordinary days, each member tries to make sense of the world as he sees it. During the special community days, each member learns the rules of the group by observing how the group sees the world.
