138 Alic j a Iwanska style of life, and the aspirations of the inhabitants of El Nopal — both young and old. There is no such a thing as a purely static society, though anthro pologists used to work for some time with such a model in mind. Today the most isolated communities are studied from the point of view of culture contact, acculturation, change. The new knowledge is acquired by every society, modern or traditional, in two main ways: from within a given society, and from the outside world. Every society, however traditional, has its built-in institutional mechanisms for the acquisition of a new knowledge. Sometimes it is knowledge new to everyone in a given society, acquired for instance by visions, dreams, scientific, and artistic discoveries, or on the other hand it may be new to a segment of society only like knowledge acquired through various types'of initiations, in the large sense of this word: initiation to an African age-set, modern labor union, medical pro fession or masonic lodge. New knowledge may be acquired from the societies considered more or less equal in regard to a receiving society or either superior or inferior in regard to it: politically, economically, culturally. The give and take of a new knowledge is always greatly affected by such real and imaginary equalities or inequalities of given societies. We usually accept something else from the societies which we consider equal, than from those which we consider superior or inferior. Besides the question 1. “From where is the knowledge acquired?”, which was just mentioned, two other questions should be asked: 2. “How this new knowledge is acquired, who brings it, how it is being diffused?” and 3. “What type of a new knowledge is it, what is its content?” A new knowledge may be acquired a) accidentally, for instance brought into community by Kula travellers to the distant Pacific islands, by foreign students coming back home, by seasonal workers or by wandering merchants; b) it may be searched for within the community or outside of it. The American Creek Indians searching for a trained Creek doctor to give them an intense course of native medicine, or the students travelling to foreign universities, may serve here as examples; c) the new knowledge may be provided by the community itself through informal education or various forms of formal schooling ranging from initiation schools to universities. And finally d) a new knowledge may be imposed by force or pressure upon a community or some of its members. Sometimes it is imposed by'thé elite groups of the society, sometimes by outsiders like mis sionaries or colonists.
