It depends upon what the members agree upon as foci. They may agree to focus their lives upon cooperative ventures, and lead lives of personal/communal integrity and intimacy. They may agree to focus their lives upon competition, and lead competitive lives consisting of one contest after the other in which winners gain power, and losers decline in power---with justice, openness, honesty, charity, intimacy, and truth being among the losers. Members of a community may agree that the most important things in their lives are objects and personal possessions---and who controls, understands, and predicts the future of objects and possessions. Or, they may agree to focus their communal lives upon spiritual realities and the seeking of communal agreement regarding such realities---and become a spiritual community. The quality of an educational institution flows from the choices of the faculty and students regarding the foci of the communal life of the institution. The focus may be a power struggle between teachers and students. Or, it may be seeking ways to satisfy the personal needs of the students. The members of the educational community may come to the agreement that the teachers are selfish inconsiderate persons who do not grant students due process consideration of the grievances of the students--- and the community life will be based upon that agreement. Such agreements are virtually never openly stated. The integrity of a community depends upon how honestly and openly its members declare to themselves and others in broader communities upon what it is that the members of the particular community have come to agreement. Communities which have integrity come to open and honest agreements regarding the foci of their communal life---and proudly celebrate their agreement within the community, and proudly advertise it to those not yet within their community---in the hopes of widening their community with integrity. Rarely does an exclusive community have integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
