While such feelings may be deplorable, these same feelings also may indicate a wise reluctance to believe in the accuracy of absolute ranking, and may point the way to a valid critique of hierarchical structures. This paper offers a social analysis of these feelings of fraudulence and offers recommendations to overcome them in contexts where that is necessary. | | Order # | Price | Pub.
