520 1  "All of us make decisions and act on those decisions as 
       individuals - but we also do the same as parts of larger 
       groups, whether in a work, family neighborhood, club, 
       church, or other institutional setting. Those two, 
       sometimes differing, decision-making settings can place us
       in extremely awkward positions. How should we behave when 
       our personal morality conflicts with our role in a 
       particular institution or when our personal "agenda" is 
       not consistent with the "agenda" of the larger groups? Don
       Welch asserts that it is impossible to separate ourselves 
       as social beings from the institutions of which we are a 
       part. Using real-life examples and buildings his arguments
       from elements as diverse as H. Richard Niebuhr and 
       Doonesbury, Welch defines the various roles of "agenda" 
       and how various personalities react and respond to 
       personal as well as corporate agendas." "Welch introduces 
       us to the "Hermit," to the "Institutionalized Person," to 
       the "Split Personality," to the "Reformer," to the 
       "Accommodator," and to the "Convert"--Among whom we 
       discover aspects of ourselves. Finally, Welch maintains 
       that an appropriate response to the institution involves 
       an ethic of "responsibility," one that does not simply 
       abide by rules or calculate consequences to determine 
       behavior, but one that integrates the constancy of one's 
       own personal integrity with concern for the larger group."
