The dictionary definitions here make no inherent value
judgment about the
behavior involved or implied. The definitions describe the
Social Level of life
and living. The Psychological Process
Level of peoples
“internal behavior”, I
believe, significantly drives and determines the outcome
at their Social Level.
Care must be taken in differentiating between the Social Level
and the
Psychological Level of Compliance and Rebellion. It is often to easy to dismiss
the psychological value of REBELLION to maintain our own comfort level.
