Traditional culture has been conserved (not preserved)
with adjustments made that are appropriate to contemporary
needs.

Certain elements, necessary for the survival of
the Mob, have been ’taken' from the white world
and legitimated by analogy (money economy, clothes,
technology).

Certain elements of the white world (e.g. teachers)
have been incorporated into the theoretical model
of Strelley, where these are seen to benefit the
Mob.

The interaction between social Structures andthe
world of meaning is regulated to protect the world
of the Mob from the intervention of alien culture.

It is concluded that both Figure 3 and Figure 4 are valid repres-
entations of the Strelley 'world', albeit with certain dangers inherent
in the 'taking* of a money economy.

Further confirmation of the reality of the Strelley model can
be tested by examining whether or not there is evidence of behaviour
which is in accord with the theorizing, whether or not individuals
find their psychological reality in this psychological model. This
area will now be examined in Chapter XV.
