                         %LEARNING FROM ROLE MODELS 830525

     It  is hard to be comfortable in engaging in behavior
for  which one has had no role models,  especially if  one
has  been a member of a subculture which has regarded  the
behavior  with discomfort and insecurity.   The  effective
lessons   of  infancy  and  childhood  sink  deep.    Mere
intellectual/rational  processes  do  not  overcome   such
effective learning in a way which will effect behavior and
affect.   Lessons which have been learned by watching role
models may be unlearned only by watching new and respected
role models.  For positive effective results, the watching
of  the  new  role models must occur in   a  context  with
positive  connotations;  in a setting characterized  by  a
profound sense of security and freedom.

     It   is   for  these   reasons   that   authoritarian
educational systems   are  unlikely  to  prompt   positive
learning.  Authoritarians  can  rarely  generate  positive
contexts  within  which  to  lead  students  to   positive
effective learning.   Authoritarians are prone to threaten
students  with conditional acceptance based upon conformal
behavior.    They are likely to provide role models  whose
behavior  is based fundamentally  upon  various  kinds  of
fear, rather than upon positive effect.
