the side of the majority, it is time to
reform."

"…highly understandable intimidation
rituals…designed to bring about
centralized control and conformity…"

(Gerald P. Hodgkinson, PhD., University of
Leeds and George Wright, Ph.D., University of
Strathclyde, 2002)
"O'Day's paradigm seems to be just as
useful for analyzing any interpersonal
situation in which an uncooperative
person must be dealt with by someone
who wants to maintain his or her
dominance…a process through which a
dominant individual may seek to
squelch 'insubordination'-nullification,
isolation, defamation, and expulsion."

(Mark L.Knapp, PhD., and Anita L.
Vangelisti, PhD., The University of Texas at
Austin, 2005)
