The better the justification of an actor’s purposive conduct corresponds to the personal civilisations of others, the more likely they are to support that conduct and belong or be added to the actor’s support base.
- Explanation. An actor may explain and justify assessments, goals and courses of action through a system of ideas and narrative. When others experience that justification, from their personal civilisation, as recognisable, appropriate or justified, they are more likely to support the actor.
