Some communities believe that the essence of communal integrity entails having communal control over individual behavior to assure conformity to proprieties. Some individuals believe that the essence of personal power entails being able to control the behavior of others in keeping with personal desires and needs. Some communities believe that the essence of communal power is the elimination of people's personal power to have any individual identity. Perverted conceptions of personal and communal integrity elicit each other in an endless process of disintegration---in futile efforts to achieve control of the perverted conceptions of personal and communal integrity. Personal and communal integrity are interdependent and so personal integrity is not possible apart from a communal context which has integrity. Personal integrity entails the freedom to fulfill personal potentials to grow in creative new ways which are free of coercions. Any form of control over individuals is inconsistent with personal integrity. When a response to a perverted conception of integrity fails to consider the ways in which personal and communal integrity are interdependent, the response is likely to promote further perversions of conceptions of personal and communal integrity. Integrity is not served by simple negations of misguided affirmations. The negation of a disintegrative statement is not necessarily an integrative statement. The prohibition of disintegrative conceptions and behavior is not necessarily integrative in character or consequence. The essence of integration is not to be found in negation or opposition to disintegration. Perversions often flow from contrary conceptions, beliefs and attitudes. Personal and communal integrity entail the integration, through increasingly open and honest conversations/conversions, of people trapped in contrary conceptions, beliefs and attitudes.
