THOUGHTS ABOUT INSTITUTIONAL MYOPIA; please share

THOUGHTS ABOUT INSTITUTIONAL MYOPIA – a sight condition created by exclusion; please share What follows will be clearly visible if your myopia hasn’t progressed too far. If it has the subject alone might cause you to pass this post without reading further. All institutions define themselves by exclusion; that is, those inside the institution agree to be governed by a certain set of laws, rules, and regulations – they are generally referred to as adherents or members. Those outside the institution are excluded from membership and generally regarded as outsiders. Some institutions by their nature are closed; they are unwilling to modify or change laws, rules, or regulations and membership is restrictive – countries, states, religious groups, extremist groups, political groups, education groups, and social groups are among these closed institutions Other institutions by their nature are open; they are willing to modify or change laws, rules, or regulations and membership is relaxed. We have only to look at the present dysfunction of our major political parties to see which party is closed and which is open; we have only to look at Mississippi to see a closed religious system; we have only to look at US media to see which are closed to the issues of race and which are open; we have only to look at the institutions open to social programs and which are closed; we have only to look at institution open to war and those closed. When an institution has defined itself totally by exclusion and has built an impregnable wall around its laws, its rules, its regulations, and its members that institution is suffering from myopia – the impaired vision will progress to blindness. http://www.adolphusward.net http://www.amazon.com/Adolphus-A.-Ward/e/B00OSDSSRC
