  %PERVERT NORMAL ATTITUDE PERCEPTION GROUP CONFORM 921003

     Human  perceptions  of  what is normal  and  what  is
abnormal  depend greatly upon the highly social nature  of
humans; their tendency to conform to the behavior patterns
of the local group.  The conformal nature of humans  often
leads to perverted  patterns  in group definitions of what
is normal and what is abnormal---when group  leadership is
dominated   by  disintegrative  characteristics  of   some
outstanding members of a group.

     Many  different  kinds  of people  can  become  group
leaders among humans.  Disintegrative kinds of people  can
become group leaders; e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and
Franco of the World War II era.  Under the  leadership  of
such disintegrative kinds of people many other people come
to  view disintegrative patterns of attitudes,   thoughts,
perceptions, beliefs and actions as normal patterns. To be
"in"    with   the  forceful  people   who   follow   such
disintegrative  leaders,   other  people  adopt  the  same
patterns of attitudes, thoughts,  perceptions, beliefs and
action  as  being  normal patterns.  They  adopt  forceful
methods   of  coping  which  progressively   become   more
manipulative, coercive, and violent---more disintegrative.
In this way disintegrative collusions dominate and pervert
people's sense of what is normal; and violence comes to be
regarded as normal and natural.
