Definitions
Assumptions
Imperial
Assumptions - can come from unvoiced values about a variety of things such as how we work, about social mobility and legal accountability, What and how we eat, what is clean and that clean equals good, appropriate clothing, what is an appropriate expression and volume of expression? What is a family and how do they relate?
Imperial - Imperial carries the implication of royalty, usually pertaining to an empire; the emperor or empress is referred to as "your imperial highness." The word imperial has a lofty feel, and though it's often used of royalty, it is sometimes used to refer to anything extremely large or impressive.
