At a time when global reorganization is undermining security of
employment, and the basic entitlement of post-war social policies
is being eroded, the question of how we will manage uncertainty -
collaboratively or competitively - is crucial to quality of life in
the coming century. Connecting theories of child development to
theories of social power and ideology, this text asks whether
contemporary societies can retrieve the moral consensus necessary
to nurture and protect their members. Drawing on John Bowlby's
attachment theory, it looks at how each of us creates a world of
predictable relationships out of our unique experiences. A child's
attachment to parenting figures is the crucial bond from which
understanding of relationships and power develop. The quality of
this attachment experience conditions our social perceptions, but
that experience is itself affected by the pressures of ideology and
social inequality. The second part looks at how societies sustain
or undermind the sense of security that we struggle to attain.
