Proposition 050 – Tension from conflicting civilisations

When required conduct conflicts with strongly operative elements of the personal civilisation, pressure arises to reduce the tension by adapting the personal civilisation or reducing the effect of conflicting circle civilisations on the individual.

• Explanation. The first route involves change within the personal civilisation, for exam­ple through reinterpretation, rationalisation, weakening or replacement of civilisation ele­ments. The second involves reducing the circle’s influence, for example through avoid­ance, non-conformity, protest, resistance or exit. Which response occurs is partly deter­mined by personality characteristics and the concrete situation.
