     %ALIENATION OBJECTIVITY MISUNDERSTAND VIOLENCE 930902

     Misunderstanding,  alienation,  and  treating  people
objectively (as objects) are inter-related.

     When   we   are   ignorant  of   other   people   and
misunderstand  them,  we are prone to think less  of  them
than we  think  of  ourselves.    In   our  ignorance  and
misunderstanding  we may fear them,  be defensive  towards
them, and so respond to them as objects to be manipulated,
deceived,  and controlled.   This leads to violence and to
greater   levels   of  ignorance,   misunderstanding   and
objectivity.

     Treating  people  as  if  they  are  only  impersonal
objects     generates    alienation,     misunderstanding,
defensiveness  and ignorance.   These characteristics  are
inter-related  in  many  ways and tend  to  engender  each
other.
