     How  may be recognize and wisely deal with  instances
of  imbalance,  excess,  exclusivity,  and disintegration?
Rarely in terms of the affirmations of the ideals, values,
principles,  rules, laws,  regulations and principles of a
dominant  paradigm  or its personal  incarnations.    More
often  in  terms of the responses of minority  people  who
with   less   political  power   represent   complementary
interests   which  are  often  regarded   as   conflicting
interests of lesser importance.

     No one systematic program or procedure can be devised
for recognizing and wisely dealing with imbalance, excess,
exclusivity and disintegration.  The people who devise and
attend  to  any  one systematic program or  procedure  are
themselves  likely to be blinded by or blind  others  with
instances   of   imbalance,   excess,    exclusivity   and
disintegrative  ideals/ideas/values within  the systematic
program or procedure.

     The key to the recognition of and wisely dealing with
instances   of   imbalance,   excess,    exclusivity   and
disintegration   is  to  be  found  in  the  patterns   of
communication  and  dialogue between persons  representing
dominant  paradigms  and other paradigms which  are  often
regarded as: minority, conflicting, impotent, discredited,
disproven, unproven, etc.

     Such recognition and wisdom will entail consideration
of   instances  of  personal:   repression,   suppression,
exclusivity,   rejection,   excommunication,   dishonesty,
deception,  alienation,  estrangement,  abuse,  addiction,
collusions   and  codependent  support  of  the   previous
instances.

     In the light of these considerations it is  essential
that  the  communication rights of minorities be  defended
whenever  their  communications are regarded as  offensive
and dangerous by  dominant  people who are relatively more
powerful than are the offending communicators.

     Any  paradigm  which  fails  to   focus   significant
attention  upon the importance of being in  dialogue  with
those most profoundly critical of the paradigm is  thereby
a  defective  paradigm,   and  it should  be  viewed  with
suspicion and apprehension.   The failure of a paradigm to
focus  significant attention upon the importance of  being
in  dialogue  with those most profoundly critically of the
paradigm  can  be  made evident by such  critics  focusing
attention  upon  what  is left  out  of  the  professional
training  programs of the paradigm in schools,   colleges,
universities and graduate training programs.
