would be unable to express their 'beliefs and conclusions
adequately. It means also that ae individual or group
of individuals can gain control of any aspects of cul-
ture and thereby move them from the interactive process.
Individuals within institutions such as the chared, the
school, the family, the economic system, cannot isolate
themselves from critical appraisal by the entire people
whose needs they are to serve. Individuals or minority
groups may not by a coup d'$tat or ether violent means
gain control of institutions and suppress all persona
who do not submit to the rale of their authority. It
means, further, every problem arising Among individuals
or groups is an opportunity for educating each person
better in how the interactive process works. Thus each
may grew in interactive behavior throughout his life.
It means, finally, that there is no end of inquiry
fixed in advance by anything or person - the inherited
customs, institutions, or persons im responsible positions*
The end is in the process and is the operational princi-
ple that all individuals concerned will, to the best of
their ability, act on thinking. The civil liberties are
not ends in themselves. They are guaranteed that in-
quiry and thoughtful behavior may result. When they
are suppressed, thinking disappears. When, thinking as
as operational concept disappears, the civil liberties
are doomed, The interactive process is, then, a way of
relating an individual to his world in order that he
may build his creative individuality while adding seme
increment to the improvement of the culture. Mutual,
cooperative, intelligent interaction is the core of the
democratic process.**
