%MISSING NEEDED CONTEXT 790911
Necessary human behavior is often judged as wrong
because it occurs in the absence of an approved context---
even though the society fails to fulfill its
responsibility to offer the needed context. The
instinctive instance of the behavior is judged faulty,
when it is the failure of the society to offer the ways
appropriate to their developmental stages and passages
through the "rooms of life". Sometimes a culture inhibits
such behavior which is essential by failing to provide
appropriate contexts, and then judges in a negative way
the behavior and the people when they express their needs
in disapproved contexts.
The young child who is forced to sit still in a
class-room desk for hours on end is likely to become
fidgity---for lack of approved opportunity to exercise. An
adolescent is not permitted to express criticisms of
social traditions in any socially approved context---and
so ultimately engages in "anti-social" behavior which is
an expression of those criticisms which were not provided
with an approved context for expression. An adolescent
experiences desires to relate sexually to other persons,
but is not afforded an an approved context within which to
relate sexually; an and so engages in sexual behavior
which is regarded as immoral because the society did not
provided the needed context.
The sophisticated intellectual may have no
intellectual context within which to express spiritual
sensitivity and perceptions, to worship with integrity.
Such a person's sub-culture may disapprove anything as
naive as worship and so refuse to provide a respectable
context to express ultimate concerns. Such an
intellectual may as a result engage in perverted worship
of cognitive idols and so become an idolater who
encourages students to engage in intellectual collusions
with ultimate concern. The acts of worship take perverted
forms because the intellectual community does not provide
a healthy context with in which to engage in worship.
The scientist's community may not provide a context
within which to relate to students as full human beings,
as person with integrity. Through perversions the
scientist may seek to be helpful to students by doing for
them what the scientist is sure needs to be done for them
--- even though the scientist is not familiar with them.
