Life Cycle
Opening context: Community of 7000, Identifiable Neighborhood
Conflict
All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays may parts, His acts being seven ages.
Resolution
Make certain that the full cycle of life is represented and balanced in each community. Set the ideal of a balanced life cycle as a principal guide for the evolution of communities. This means:
-
That each community include a balance of people at every stage of the life cycle and include the full slate of settings needed for all these stages;
-
That the community contain the full slate of settings which best mark the ritual crossing of life from one stage to the next.
