ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the six principles of behaviour: people need to be able to predict their environments, people are not machines, people's behaviour is based on six universal values, people form cultures based upon mythologies, change is a result of dissonance, and it is better to build relationships on the basis of authority rather than power. In our relationship with the world there are basically two fundamentally different types of relationship. The first is our relationship with other people; the second is our relationship with objects. The distinction between people and object relations may seem very simple and obvious. Universal Values are a set of six 'values' that are essential properties of constructive social relationships that result in productive social cohesion. They are adjectives describing behaviour: loving, trustworthy, dignifying, courageous, honest, fair; or they can be abstract nouns: love, honesty, trust, respect for human dignity, courage, fairness.
