Abstract
This paper discusses eleven distinctions that develop ideas about how society can ensure that
every individual is given the capacity to reach her highest potential. The distinctions show us
that the mother‐child (and/or caretaker‐child) relationship and early environments not only
overwhelmingly shape each person’s development, but also serve as a model for human
development in all stages of life; that humans control their environments; that the nature of
work is changing and the only successful response is continual learning; that systems designed
to share knowledge with and collect knowledge from all participants build trust and accomplish
goals. Problems with current learning systems, how value is derived in the modern economy,
and implementation of Learning and Working Communities are also discussed.
