Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

…Pencils down.

Well, how’d ja do?

As promised, you will all grade your own tests following yesterday’s audio-video Essay Test.

A little review of the key concepts manifested in the video.

All three of the predominant worldviews, by virtue of being human, will strive to exert control on their surroundings. Be it physical, social or spiritual. Some (examples of this drive) will be more obvious than others. All will, as the Everything Rule maintains, reflect the character of the personal reality of the individuals.

Remember, the key to understanding a person from a predominant worldview other than our own is ‘manifestation’, as in:  ‘how does this noun/verb/object manifest in the world of the speaker?

• clarks (the Outsider) looking up from their test booklets smile, the manifestation of the drive to control is through the un-witting/un-knowing/un-intended cooperation of someone else. there is a saying among Outsiders when confronting a challenge that they cannot handle themselves (falsely or otherwise): “I can’t, you can, I think I’ll try to get you to,” passive aggressive? sure. effective? you’ll never know (lol the clarks in our metaphorical classroom are trying to cover their amused reaction)
• scotts (the Predator) look alert, were the MC (in the Video) a scott, she would have already turned on the tv, the better to stay aware of the situation in the environment, note: her interest would be in situational awareness, not the safety and well-being of the students. the students would not have to muster the courage to leave, the MC would have said, “Hey. This class is not the most important thing. Class dismissed. ‘cept you (fill in the name of the hot/cute student)…. you look like you could use a hug.” (lol the scotts in the our metaphorical classroom are producing a variety of sound effect, the clarks are joining them)
• rogers (the Herd Members) well, they are kind of the center of attention in our bullet-point shaped room. The clip from the video provides a clear and unambiguous example of a roger expressing their need to control, in this case, the classroom. Seriously, would anyone, in the role of the MC who was not a roger, at very least acknowledge the student’s request to turn on the new? That pause goes on forever. And, …and it’s not that she’s busy or perplexed, she is clearly reflecting on something that, (Alert: the following WILL BE ON THE FINAL EXAM!) was a considerations that the students in the classroom were not qualified to be a part of… *) She does, of course, turn on the TV and the result is predictable. The thing of it is, she was the center of the Herd from the moment the legitimate request (to turn on the news) was stated.

* ProTip: If you have had the experience of being in a workplace in which a manager’s office is in direct view of the general work area, you can determine the predominant worldview of the occupant on the basis of how often the door is closed, during normal business hours. Do the Math. This will be an Extra Credit question on the Final Exam. Hint: No one in the immediate vicinity will not be aware of the door closing. The closing of the door (on receiving a visitor or taking a phone call, whatever) will be for the benefit of the people who are not qualified to be in the now-closed-door-office. So rogerian.
