"The 'Wong..." :-)
Does anyone know the specific differences between social and historical contexts in BNW/BR? I don't seem to be seeing the difference very clearly...Isn't the society of when the text was written the same as the historical context for that text? Somebody please help! :)

ok, well i dnt know the texts bnw/br but i can take a guess of what they mean.
please, dnt take my word for it but POSSIBLY the social context has something to do with the society and the society in that time, (e.g. upper / lower class)and the historical has to do with what was going on in the world at that time - broarder things like wars etc.
