          %COMMUNAL PERSONAL DISEASE DISINTEGRATION 880705

     In an individual's personal disease the person is put
ill at ease by threats to personal integrity.

     In  a communal disease the whole community is put ill
at ease by threats to communal integrity.

     To  deal with an individual's personal disease it  is
essential   to  understand  the  dynamics  of  threats  to
personal integrity.

     To  deal with a communal disease the whole  community
needs to understand the dynamics of the threat to communal
integrity.

     The integrity of a community,  as of the  individual,
depends  upon  effective communication among the parts  of
the    whole.     Anything   which   inhibits    effective
communications which promote the integrity of the whole is
a threat to the integrity of the whole,  and a contributor
to disease, ill-at-easiness.

     In  the  instance  of a community,  recovery  from  a
disease clearly involves reconciliation  among the members
of  the  community that have become  alienated  from  each
other;   i.e.,   not communicating effectively  with  each
other.   Lack of communication usually has to  do  with  a
loss   of  ability  to  understand  each  other's   words;
sometimes because different  sets of words are used, other
times  because  words come to have different  meanings  to
different  people.   Reconciliation involves  recovery  of
and/or  the creation of  a  common language through  which
communication is made possible.

     The  loss  of a common language  can  come  about  by
virtue of  over-specialization,   each sub-community going
its own separate way as  regards  concerns and activities;
losing   touch   with  each  other  both   literally   and
figuratively.   People who physically lose touch with each
other are likely to move apart in other ways,  and fail to
understand  each   other.    Reconciliation often involves
regaining touch with each other.
