self reflection base-attitude

Invitation to your whole being to consciously and actively take a look at self-reflection

Picture the Field of Law.

In this field, see how people go through the process of justice.

Over the world, there are roughly two approaches.

1. In a fair number of legal systems, the basic principle is:
    "Someone is innocent, until proven indisputably otherwise".
2. Other systems apply the reverse:
   If society questions you for your whereabouts, then you "are guilty, unless you are able to prove otherwise, beyond any doubt."

Well ….

Now imagine that those rather similar approaches can also be found in processes of self-reflection.
However, with regards to one’s competence / incompetence.

Have you rephrased the sentences 1 and 2? 

Then…..
Give yourself some time to answer for yourself the following questions:.

• Does the default practice of self-reflection, used by most modern people you know (in as much that you are aware of it, of course)  for issues small and large, look more like the first approach, or like the second?
  
• How would you estimate the effects on the social emotional developments on individuals and society as a whole:
  - when  method 1 is structurally used in a society and
  - when  method 2 is the common practice?
   
• Which  strategies would you think are likely to be chosen by citizens to secure as much freedom and control over their own lives as possible:
  - in a society with type 1 and
  - in a society with type 2?
   
• Which base-attitude of the reflections do you prefer in your communties to live in yourself and why?
  - How strong is that preference?
   
• Which support would be necessary for people who are living on a day tot day bases in a system where the default-attitude is currently not the one you prefer to see in your society/community?
  - Which real and actual options to offer that support,  do you have, right now, both on a personal level as well as on a professional  level?
