The idea of [http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/08/powerful-ideas-discourse.html non-universals] was started by Kay and furthered by Kerr. The idea being that all cultures spontaneously develop some ideas, for example art, but few cultures develop the more complex ideas, for example perspective drawing. The weakness in this analysis is that ideas might be very difficult to spontaneously generate but relatively easy to maintain in a culture. It does not necessarily give a guide as to how much teaching effort is required. It is however a useful way to look at powerful ideas.
