Changes in personal civilisation resulting from individual life circumstances may cause tension with circle civilisations to which the individual belongs.
- Explanation. Changes in, for example, intimate relationships, life stage, living environment, health or work may change the personal civilisation without corresponding changes in circle civilisations. Personal and circle-related civilisation elements that were previously compatible may consequently come into tension. The mechanism described in the previous chapter applies to how the individual attempts to reduce that tension.
