the differences  between the people as  regards  standards

originate in the differences as regards standards.                                 
                                                                                                                               
     People who are in one modality as regards  standards,                                 
may  feel  that people who are in a different  modality as                                     
regards standards, are people who "have no  standards"  or                                 
"have  very low standards".    Viewing each other  in such                                                               
ways  offers  little opportunity for  conflict-resolution,      
and thus little opportunity for peacemaking.   Such people                                                                    
are  likely  to  engage in protracted  and  often  violent           
conflicts; with  little  prospect and little motivation to                                              
end their violence or conflicts.
