Professionals are, after all, human beings in societies, and apart from their colleagues and customers, there is the whole range of people who surround them, with whom they have to coexist and communicate socially. The professionals' attitude to all these others is important because, besides professional efficiency which may be confined to the court, the clinic or. the college, they have to give something of themselves to the world. They are human beings essentially and in mixing with their fellowmen, it would be better if they could mix with them on an equal footing and not as experts or superiors.
Also, it cannot be denied that they may be superior to many but this superiority they must never allow to surface. Professionals are the guides, path-finders, social workers, some sort of preceptors, and they have to maintain this dignity and live up to this expectation. What is more, they would blunder if they equate themselves with the common lot. They have to lead the latter, assist them, advise them for self-improvement, even though they are not rendering such help in their professional capacity. Tit-bits of talks, petty imputations, false insinuations should not touch them. Rather, it is they who may be called upon to quell such conflicts between others, just as they would spend their energy in thwarting those directed against themselves.
If this is true, then in their behaviour with their neighbours and fellowmen these experts are not to hammer in their differences. Nor would it be right for them to take it for granted that they are accepted automatically. They have to prove themselves as human beings and give expression to their human character to prove to themselves as well as to their fellow beings that they are. not mechanised robots but humans possessed of alt the qualities of head and heart.
