Human behavior changes when self conceptions change. Self conceptions flows from inter personal relationships within which self is conceived and perceived both communally and personally. What self is perceived as being, and possible of becoming, depends upon the nature of the inter personal relationships and self conceptions within which self is born and grows to whatever maturity is possible within the available contexts. Each self seeks to fulfill self within the context of self's conception of what constitutes self's self- interest--- as seen from the perspective of self's ideas, ideals, ideologies, values, etc. Self conceptions occur within an ideological and social context, and behavior flows from the fruits of self conceptions. If behavior is disintegrative in its nature, the roots of the disintegration may be fruitfully sought in the lack of integration in the social/communal self conceptions. Disintegrative behavior flows from disintegrative self conceptions; i.e., self conceptions which lack integrative elements, ideals and values. A well integrated whole integrates elements whose fulfillment is conceived to reside in the integrated whole. The whole is not conceived to be the collection of independent elements conceived to be whole in and of themselves, and therefore seeking their independent fulfillments at the expense of others. Any disintegrative conception of the elements leads to the disintegration of the possibilities of an integrative whole within which the elements may fulfill their possibilities. No kinds of coercive rules, laws, moral codes, ethics religious doctrines, etc. can successfully compensate for disintegrative self conceptions. Coercion will not successfully compensate for the conception that selves will inherently tend to do what is wrong. Integration flows from the conception that self-interest lies in personal integration, and communal integrity which promotes personal integrity. Disintegration flows from the conception that self-interest lies in disintegration and self-satisfaction at the expense of both communal integrity and personal integrity. Human behavior flows powerfully from the kinds of self conceptions which are dominant, from what members of the community regard as their appropriate ultimate best interest. Disintegrative ideals and values lead to personal and communal disintegration. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
