Acceptance by a support base of the explanation through which an actor legitimates an outcome as achievement of the goal contributes to the further civilising of that support base.
- Explanation. When the support base accepts the actor’s interpretation of an outcome, the civilisation elements used to substantiate that interpretation are confirmed and strengthened. As a result, not only may the outcome be assessed as successful, but the personal civilisations of the support base may also be formed further in the direction of those elements.
