Here identification is "the social bonding of an organism to another or a group of organisms, usually of the same species. While the ability to identify may be genetically determined..." the form of identification is not. 5 According to Alland, another human universal is the "Tendency to avoid ambiguity" which is "in part also biological." 6 Although I do not feel comfortable with so many non-operational terms, Alland has described here essentially the same characteristics of indoctrinability (Campbell 1972) and xenophobia (in Alland's terms, a distinction between a group-identified-with and others, sharpened by the "tendency...
...three separate marriage services. In the first and more traditional Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage, the minister's charge to the couple makes no mention of "the dreadful day of judgment." The second is a shorter, simplified civil service, and the third version is a free-form "order for marriage" that allows couples and priests virtually to write their own ceremonies in accordance with the canons of the church.

Under these conditions, an avant-garde can hardly be said to exist. The most outrageous or destructive idea or art form becomes accepted overnight. "In fact," writes Bell, the chief characteristic of the Establishment "is its eagerness to repudiate its own existence." The condition of art is echoed in politics and the economy. Capitalists have lost faith in their enterprise and are listless about defending it. Capitalism's very success has created a paradox: hard work, discipline and organization make capitalism successful. But the goods it abundantly produces encourage a mindless pursuit of hedonism. Capitalism is thus deprived...
