     It is helpful to recognize,  name,  describe and talk
about  the various reasons that public attention is or  is
not  focused upon certain phenomena,  events,   realities,
issues, conflicts, etc.

     1.  There is not enough time for each person to spend
time attend to every possible focus of attention.  Choices
of  how  to focus attention must be made due  to  lack  of
time.

     2.  Each person  is totally ignorant (and will always
be totally ignorant) of many possible foci of attention---
for lack of time, exposure, experience, sense organs, etc.

     3.  Due to inheritance and  previous experiences each
person  tends  to  ignore many possible foci of  attention
even when they are present.

     4.  Negative   experiences  often  lead  to  aversive
reactions to possible foci of attention.

     5.  Foci of attention which lead to embarrassment are
often avoided.

     6.  People  avoid/repress  information  and  insights
which  will expose mistakes,   incompetence,   dishonesty,
corruption, addictions, collusions, etc.

     7.  People avoid/repress  whatever  will  expose  the
limitations   and  misleading  aspects  of  their  favored
paradigm.

     8.  People  often  (but  not  always)   avoid/repress
whatever will expose  the  weaknesses  of  their  parents,
teachers, supervisors, bosses, etc.

     9.  Addictive people and organizations  in perversely
systematic/chaotic ways combine many of the above patterns
in hidden ways to try to "get ahead" and "gain respect".
