Personal civilisations, circle civilisations, social relations and institutions influence one another reciprocally.
- Explanation. Changes in one of these elements may alter the conditions under which the others operate. Changes in personal civilisations may affect circle civilisations; changes in circle civilisations may influence social relations and institutions; and changes in social relations or institutions may in turn change personal and circle civilisations. The relationships are therefore reciprocal rather than one-directional.
