    STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct 23 (IPS) - Bronisław Malinowski (1884 – 1942) did for several years conduct socio-anthropological research in the Trobriand Islands. Returning to England after World War I, he wrote several ground breaking books, among them Magic, Science, and Religion in which he assumed that people's feelings and motives are crucial for understanding the way their society functions. Malinowski considered society to be intimately interlinked with individuality – i.e. an individual's ideas and behaviour are created and formulated within the social circles s/he lives and vice versa. Consequently, an individual's personality might influence an entire society, depending on the leading role s/he is granted.
