Smith provides an alternative structure based on multiple value systems in which she states “All value is radically contingent” (p.30).

I think common self-justification of perpetrators results in a vicious cycle mutual harming and worsened situations or relationships. The chapter notes cases where the perpetrator is clear‚ like in the case where the husband had an affair behind the wife’s back.

The oligarchs captured immense power during the mayhem of economic liberalization and created enormous wealth‚ thereby they “managed to capture the state‚ enrich themselves‚ and undermine economic development” (Frye‚Yakovlev‚and Yasin‚p.33). This hardly fostered efficiency in the market since the motive was “wealth Extraction not wealth generation”

These conventions are general agreements on social behaviour; they have a strong force within society. This is stated by Frye in his speech "The educated imagination" he expresses that‚ "There’s clearly a strong force making toward conformity in society‚ so strong that it seems to have something to do with the stability of society itself."

One may not know what archetypes are‚ but can still identify them. Frye explained archetypes as symbols that occur often enough in literature that people can recognize them.

Today’s society is a very "powerful anti-intellectual society". As Northrop Frye has stated in the article "Don’t you think it’s time to start thinking?"

Society constantly placed gender roles on women‚ which were “society’s views or expectations of women” (Fox-Genovese 37) and women could not possibly escape these social pressures from society (Frye 69).
