Their own actions and the actions of others are not taken at face value as practical actions and/or revelations of the experiences, feelings, perceptions, beliefs, and desires of participants in the relationship---but are taken to be PRIMARILY symbols of status as regards dominance, control, leadership, submission, follower-ship and discipleship. Such people do not live in terms of practical actions and in terms of open and honest dialogue; but rather in terms of a dance of dominance and submission. Dominant people need submissive people to affirm their status of dominance. There is no satisfying fulfillment to dominant people in the absence of people who acknowledge and affirm their dominance. Dominant people are often dominant authoritarians in need of submissive authoritarians who feel a deep need for dominant authoritarians to tell them what to feel, think, say, do, and avoid. Authoritarians come in two types; dominant authoritarians and submissive authoritarians, each needing the other for their own perverse sense of fulfillment. The fulfillment of the status of dominance of dominant authoritarians most often involves the use of and the acknowledgement of symbols of dominance and submission. Actions, body language, signs, and modes of conversation all take on symbolic importance as regards the status of dominance or submission---an importance which plays a more central role in the participant's drama than the practical aspects or the overt content of the various communications. If people who are supposed to be submissive fail to properly acknowledge the symbols of dominance within their proper contexts, they are likely to become the victims of violent actions of those who feel the need, desire, right, duty and privilege to be in an acknowledged position of dominance and control. Dominant people who are not properly affirmed in their dominance often become destructively violent---psychologically, economically, politically, verbally, affectively, spiritually, sexually and in other ways; even if not physically. To transcend patterns of personal and communal violence we need to understand and deal with the patterns of use of symbols of dominance, so that we may transcend the tacit forms of abuse which lay the foundations for overt forms of abuse and violence.
