     People often behave as if the transmission of ideals,
values,  goals, attitudes, beliefs,  convictions and their
like  is most often accomplished through overt,  explicit,
intentional  verbal communication in the forms  of  spoken
and/or   written   statements.     Although   transmission
obviously  does often occur in such ways,  it  also  often
occurs in ways which are not overt, explicit,  intentional
or verbal.   To ignore the transmissions which do occur in
ways  which  are not overt,  explicitly,   intentional  or
verbal is to be ignorant of the multitude of ways in which
the  transmission of ideals,  values,  goals,   attitudes,
beliefs, convictions and their like do occur in real life.

     Much  is  said  and transmitted by the ways in  which
people  do,   and  do not,  TOUCH  each  other---literally
or  figuratively---in   ways  which  are   not   obviously
overt, explicit, intentional or verbal.

     In  the  previous  statement the word  TOUCH  may  be
replaced by any of the following words or phrases to point
to  additional  ways  in  which  ideals,  values,   goals,
attitudes, beliefs and convictions are transmitted:

   LOOK AT                   STAY WITH

   CONSIDER                  RESPOND TO

   LISTEN TO                 CONVERSE WITH

   AVOID                     DESIRE

   COMMUNE WITH              MANIPULATE

   VIOLATE                   OFFEND

   NEGLECT                   MANAGE

     Transmissions  of  essential  integrative    cultural
elements often occur in rituals which are either formal or
informal, intentional or accidental, verbal or non-verbal,
institutionalized or spontaneous, playful or serious, etc.

     Some   cultures  place  great  importance  upon   the
children in the communities,  upon their nurture and their
care.      Other  cultures at their peril  do  not   place
much  importance  upon the children in their  communities,
nor upon their nurture or their care and cares.    Much is
said by  how  each community  focuses  the  attentions  of
the  members   of  the  community  through   payments   of
wages, feature news stories in  print,    visual and audio
news   media,  and communal rituals.   When  children  are
ignored  or  abused either actively  or passively in  such
foci,    the  integrity  of  the community is  in  danger.
Within  such  a  community little that is  of  real  value
will  be  transmitted to the next  generation,   and  thus
the   community   and  all  that   it  stands   for   will
disintegrate  in  ways which its members are unlikely   to
understand.   It is in such ways which       civilizations
fall.
