Social scientists focus their attention upon people and how people respond to the scientists' manipulations of them---and upon how people interact with each other. Philosophers and theologians focus their attention upon patterns of abstract thought, belief and articulations related to values, ideals, principles and ultimate concerns regarding the nature of life and human fulfillment. Politicians focus their attention upon getting elected by projecting an image which attracts votes of favor; and upon gathering and dispensing taxes in ways which will lead to them getting re-elected. They are greatly concerned with how others perceive them and respond to them. Business leaders focus their attention upon the generating of desires for goods and services which they have to offer for sale; or which they might offer for sale if they can generate enough desires for such goods and services. They are greatly concerned with how others perceive and respond to them. Entertainers seek to get the attention of selected audiences in ways which lead to the entertainers being regarded with favor and as good to have around on special occasions. They are greatly concerned with how others perceive and respond to them. Many people are greatly concerned with how others respond to them. Some people are dysfunctionally concerned with how others perceive and respond to them. They are concerned with very little else! Such people focus little attention upon useful objective accomplishments, or upon the honesty and integrity of their relationships with other people. They often seek to be in control of how other people perceive and respond to them. They become dangerously dysfunctional people in many instances. It is helpful to recognize the wide variety of different foci of attention; and the wide variety of ways in which people focus attention upon the different foci of attention. Much of the diversity is healthy; but in many instances patterns of where attention is focused and the manners of focusing attention becomes dysfunctional; e.g., when patterns appropriate to the manipulation of impersonal objects are carried over into the manipulation of people, their perceptions and their responses. People become unbalanced in where and how they focus their own attention and the attention of other people; e.g., becoming dysfunctionally narrow and specialized in their foci and manners. While tolerance is often helpful; in other situations we need to recognize the hazards in being indifferent to aberrant and dysfunctional patterns in where people focus attention, and the manner in which the focus attention. In some instances aberrant people become threats to the integrity of the community which ignores them in their alienation and isolation. Often isolated and alienated people are dangerous because of their isolation and alienation. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
