Walled Communities : Social Norms and Accepted Anti-Social Behavior and Behaviors
No comments · Posted by admin in Uncategorized
The island myth is pervasive in the well-ordered middle class of the “Western World”. It underlies the assumption of self sufficiency of nations like Switzerland, the small town in mid-western America , and the walled communities of well-to-do urban and suburban enclaves around the world. It informs the many corporations who value independence above interdependence. In such collectives, disability , illness and even anti-social behavior are tolerated as long as they are viewed as “family” or “insider” problems. For example many organizations have learnt to provide extremely progressive and expensive rehab rehabilitation programs for their employees while actively lobbying against providing similar benefits for “outside groups”. Similarly a retarded child or a schizophrenic adult who “belongs” to a community may be allowed to garner valuable resources devoted to his or her integration and treatment while those with the same problems but viewed as “outsiders” such as the mentally ill or homeless people are viewed as “subhuman”.
