ABSTRACT
Human beings are social in origin and attributes; and their learning how to live, like their search for a livelihood, can be understood only in its relation to the total setting of the lifedramas in which they find themselves expected to play a part. The issues encountered in this educative experience are not dissimilar to those discussed in Chapter XI under the heading of social and personal development. There is need for acceptance of one’s position (strength-weakness, ignorance-knowledge, similaritydifference, popularity-unpopularity, or submission-dominance) in relation to one’s contacts with other people and one’s achievements at school or at work. There is also the continuing necessity for experiencing adventures, for attaining insight and for winning the satisfaction of success through the conviction that progress is possible and that more can probably be accomplished to-morrow than has yet been achieved to-day.
