               %COMMUNICATION BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION 790213

     Education  tends  to be rather meaningless if it does
not occasion behavior modification.  The more the behavior
of everyday  life  is modified the more significant is the
educational experience, for good or ill. Everyday behavior
may  be  enriched  by  the addition of the  new  kinds  of
behavior;  or  may  be impoverished by  the  inhibition of
former meaningful behaviors.    A  person may be made more
acceptable in a conventional society  by the inhibition of
behavior which threatens/disturbs  members of the society.
Education  which  inducts students into collusions thereby
induces profound behavior modification ---perceived  as  a
sign   of   great   educational   success   by   collusion
participants.    The impoverishment of behavior may signal
such inhumane education.

     Behavior  modification  which  entails  reduction  of
communication   between  people---is  not  humane.     Any
educational  process which  inhibits communication is  not
liberating,   no  matter  by what name  it  passes.    The
channeling  of  communication  into  narrow  channels   of
communication  which  are  exclusively---formal  does  not
facilitate the free flow of human perceptions, intuitions,
desires, emotions, feelings,  visions,  hopes, fears, etc.
Verbal  channeling is not always helpful.   Most  "higher"
education    involves   verbal   channeling   and/or   the
constraining   of  communication into formal  channels  of
communication.     Such   constraining  of   communication
occasions  significant  behavior modification in the kinds
of dialogue which take  place.   Communication is the most
significant  of  human behaviors,  and the modification of
human communication is one  of  the most significant human
actions.

     The  impoverishment of communication cuts people  off
from  each other and occasions asocial behavior.    People
who are isolated from each other act  in ways which do not
show  respect for each other,  for they are  not  mutually
aware of nor do they mutually understand each other.  Many
forms of behavior modification entail excommunication as a
means,   and  as  a  result of the  behavior  modification
efforts.  Such efforts are counter-productive, unless they
be of the devil.  The violence of excommunication is never
of helpful means of motivation.  The communication of love
occasion disintegrative behavior modification.
