Replying to LO25715 --
Knowledge is socially constructed (Jack Mezirow, Jurgen Habermas, John
Dewey [may be a little stretch] and, as such, it could be argued that
"Appreciation" of the other's contribution would likely bring more help
from others (positive reinforcement cycle). The positive reinforcement
cycle would then strengthen the relationships between folks causing the
strain and stresses of everyday life (Vail's "whitewater" and Kegan's "In
over our heads") to be more easily "rode out" by relationships.
