    For  a community to demonstrate communal integrity the
community as a whole, and its members,  must  show respect
for   the  integrities  of  the  diverse  members  of  the
community.   Neither personal nor communal integrity is  a
matter  of   conformity  to  any  standard  for   "proper"
assumptions,  attitudes,  beliefs,  thoughts or behaviors.
Integrity has to  do  with the parts of the whole  working
cooperatively together with other parts of the whole.     
                                                          
     Thus integrity is  absent or crippled  in the absence
of  demonstrations  of:   balance,   honesty,   mutuality,
civility, hospitality, authenticity, openness, generosity,
etc. on the part of the whole and its parts --- toward all
parts of the whole.                                       
                                                          
     Thus  integrity  is  difficult in  the  presence  of:
extremism,     deception,     unilateralism,      attacks,
defensiveness, pretentiousness, secrecy, greed, etc.   ---
for their presence is an  indication of the absence of the
virtues named above.                                      
                                                          
      The  community  as a-whole cannot  demonstrate  high
levels of  communal  integrity  if  many  members  of  the
community demonstrate forms of  callous  disregard for the
integrity  of  the community  as a-whole,   and/or for the
integrities  of  the members of the community and/or their
sub communities.                                          
                                                          
     To   demonstrate   integrities   --- the   above con-
siderations need to be responded  to in various ways which
are appropriate to  the  various circumstances, situations
and environments in which we find ourselves.
