%FRIEND ENVIRONMENT CONTEXT COMMUNITY HOSTILE CHILD+930723

     The  kind of environment,  community and  context  in
which a child is born, grows up, and become an adult makes
a  great deal of difference in the level of  integrity  in
the members of the community and in the level of integrity
of the community as a whole.

     When the community, context,  environment, and/or the
universe  is  experienced  by  the  child  as  unfriendly,
threatening,  rejective, excommunicative, and the like ---
it  is unlikely that there will  be  personal or  communal
integrity---and a vicious feed-back loop is set in  motion
towards further disintegration.

     When the community, context, environment,  and/or the
universe  is  experienced  by  the  child  as  essentially
friendly, supportive, acceptive, responsive,  and the like
---   it   is  likely  that there  will  be  personal  and
communal  integrity---and  a healthy feed-back loop is set
in motion towards further integration.

     If the universe is regarded as essentially  objective
in  nature with no essential personal aspects inherent  in
it,   it is unlikely that the universe will be experienced
as  essentially  friendly;   or  that  human  communities,
contexts   and   environments   will  be   experience   as
essentially  friendly.     If,   on  the other hand,   the
universe is regarded  as essentially friendly in nature it
is   likely   that  human   communities,    contexts   and
environments will be experienced as essentially friendly.
