     Domineering people find it useful to deal in:  blame,
judgments,    criticisms,     rejections,     punishments,
denigrations ---  for self-serving purposes.   Domineering
people   are  likely to  rationalize  that their  ways  of
holding  people  accountable  --- will  overall  encourage
people to behave responsibly,   and that in the absence of
such ways of holding people accountable -- people will not
behave  responsibly.     It  is  in  domineering  people's
interest  to view other people in ways which indicate that
the  domineering  people's "skills"  are essential to  the
good proper functioning of society.  Is there any evidence
in  support of that way of perceiving the nature of  human
beings  and  human  societies.    Is  there  any  contrary
evidence?    Self-serving judgments are not likely to   be
unbiased,   free-of-prejudice,  not-capricious,   and  not
arbitrary.

     We  need to seek a more likely to be reliable way  of
dealing with the above issues;  a  way which will meet the
following conditions.

     1.  The   research  and  conclusions  are   protected
against  the biases/prejudices of domineering  people  and
their traditional submissive victims.

     2.  The research and conclusions will fit  coherently
into  a  credible way of understanding  how  personal  and
communal  integrations and integrities are undermined  and
how they are facilitated; e.g., as regards open and honest
communications,    good  mental  health,   learning   from
mistakes, facilitating cooperation/collaboration, conflict
resolution, humane-productivity, humane-creativity, etc.

     3.  Evidence  be  gathered by a spectrum  of  diverse
people  to protect against the presence of systematic bias
in making reflexive observations about human behaviors and
reflexive considerations.

     4.  There  be efforts to protect  against  prejudices
which  originate in conflicts rooted in various  kinds  of
differences/conflicts:   religious,  political,  economic,
cultural, racial, nationalistic, scholarly, genetic,  etc.
At   least  such  prejudices  should  be  recognized   and
acknowledged.     Failing  to  do  so  should   call   all
conclusions into question.
