forms of Hygiene

A gift for Hodges' model:

 'good prose is like a windowpane'

George Orwell, WHY I WRITE

'How is it that Orwell has become the single answer to so many questions, in so many different subjects, for so many people? His name conjures an amorphous idea of fair play and “common sense”; his spare prose supposedly brings cool nonpartisanship to a world of impassioned blusterers. In keeping your sentences clean, the theory goes, you practise intellectual hygiene (“good prose is like a windowpane” and all that). A single word, “Orwellian”, evokes the great man’s foresight about the dangers of an overweening nanny state, a censorious far-left or whatever else may be getting your goat that day.'

INTELLECTUAL MENTAL - EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL (Coping with the 21st Century) SELF-LIFE SKILLS (control anxiety - being organised) Health Literacy: Knowledge and aptitude for forms of HYGIENE	PERSONAL ENVIRONMENTAL DOMESTIC FOOD HANDS (How to sneeze, cough) ORAL - DENTAL CLOTHES BODY HAIR (frequency?) Sustainability - balance
SOCIAL COMMUNITY/RACIAL HYGIENE Insertion of memory lest we forget Insertion of a hook to do - think as we tolerance for x,y,z	POLITICAL HYGIENE aka. The Paradox To Vote : To be counted CIVIC

 

Reflecting about this in some contexts, more than others(?) I'm struck by the overlap between hygiene and literacy.

Completing, or attending to, being motivated to undertake - complete hygiene duties depends on knowledge and ability to act. Having basic needs met.
