ABSTRACT
Yet the age of individualism wanes and we become more painfully aware that we must move toward more concerted participation through collective action. We move reluctantly because our common history places obstacles in our way. We are accustomed to images of freedom without limitations and to not being constrained by neighbors except to the most minimal degree. We go our own separate ways. Even so, although isolation and personal freedom characterize our past, it can no longer remain thus if we and our children are to develop in a healthy manner-indeed, many now say, if we are to survive as a species.
