ABSTRACT

The suppression of drug cultures in the name of making the world a better place to live is a public policy example of the central issue the author have been talking about: the belief that there is only one way to approach something perceived as a social problem. After years of experiencing discriminatory treatment by airlines, people with disabilities banded together and forced a series of federal governmental actions aimed at requiring air carriers to offer them the same service everybody else received. The concept of an aggregation of completely autonomous individuals fighting for their individual rights is inseparable from the view of modern society as described by Robert Nisbet. Professional training programs based upon a formal, structural view of the world, of which there are many, have vast influence in maintaining the certainty that care is a systemic endeavor.
