      %GROUND FOR RESPECTING NON-OBJECTIVE BEHAVIOR 840711

     Under what circumstances is it proper to show respect
for non-objective behavior?  If we are not clear regarding
appropriate  criteria  for the  respect  of  non-objective
behavior---such  behavior  may not properly be   respected
in  deference   to other criteria---leading us  to  always
respect only  objective behavior, to the exclusion of ever
showing respect for non-objective behavior.

     If  only  objective behavior is regarded as  properly
conformal,   only the most creative  (read non-conformist)
people will be able to behave in creative ways when wisdom
calls  for non-objective behavior to promote personal  and
communal  integrity.   Thus we need to be clear under what
circumstances  it  is  proper  to show  respect  for  non-
objective behavior.

     People  who  have been specialized in scientific  and
technical  disciplines have been disciplined to value  and
respect   objective   behavior   as   unbiased   behavior.
Objectivity is equated to fair,  unbiased, just, reliable,
etc.    Such people have been trained to not show  respect
for non-objective behavior.   If such people are  regarded
as   reliable  experts---those  people  who  respect  such
experts  are  unlikely  to show respect for creative  non-
objective behavior.     The lack of such demonstrations of
respect  is  bound   to  have  a  chilling   effect   upon
creative  non-objective behavior.

     In  the  absence of recognized criteria in  terms  of
which   to  accord  respect  for  creative   non-objective
behavior---we are likely to be the victims of the  absence
of such desirable behavior.   Such  creative behavior   is
desirable  whenever  it helps to promote a  wise  balances
between personal and communal integrity.    This, then, is
an  essential  criteria in terms of which  we  may  wisely
choose    when   to  show   respect   for    non-objective
behavior; even when doing so violates the ideals of people
who are dedicated to showing respect to objective behavior
which  undermines  the  integrity of all persons  and  all
communities.
