     Most communities maintain  some form of Rank-Ordering
of members of the community on the basis of:

     1.  Birth,
     2.  Heritage,
     3.  Merit,
     4.  Cast,
     5.  Achievements,
     6.  Wealth,
     7.  Rituals-Maintained,
     8.  Beliefs-Maintained,
     9.  Trade/Work,
    10.  Family-Connections
    11.  Religious-Traditions,
    12.  Technical-Traditions,
    13.  Submissive-Conformity,
    14.  Submission-to-Domination,
    15.  Land-Ownership,
    16.  Slave-Ownership,
    17.  Color,
    18.  Race,
    19.  Prejudice,
    20.  Schooling,
    21.  Culture, etc.

     Most    communities    maintain    some    form    of
granting/denying: advantages, privileges, benefits, rights
---   on  the basis of the Rank-Ordering  which the  local
community maintains.

     Each  community has its own way of "justifying"   its
own traditions of Rank-Ordering  and of  granting/denying:
advantages, privileges, benefits and rights.

     The   personal  and  communal  integrities  of   each
individual   and  community  depends  greatly   upon   the
coherence/integrity of its patterns of:

 1.  Ranking-Ordering members of the community.
 2.  Granting/denying advantages, etc.
 3.  Maintaining whatever its patterns may be.
 4.  Justifying whatever its patterns may be.
 5.  Sacrificing personal/communal integrations.
 6.  Sacrificing personal/communal integrities.
 7.  Maintaining collusive-games-of-mutual-self-deception.
 8.  Undermining respect for Distributive-Justice.
 9.  Undermining respect for Essential-Virtues.
10.  Respecting Vicious Concentrations of Wealth/Powers.
