The philosophy contains both constraints and freedoms. Loss of the minority view was expressed as a struggle. Molding to fit the dominant view led to a sense of connectedness. Individuals living within the faculty circle sought both to maintain their own views and to recognize and support the needs of the group. From this struggle, feelings of freedom and growth emerged, as well as respect and support for others. Nevertheless, at the point in time captured by this study, respect for individuals was easier to achieve than respect for the diversity of ideas. In truth, these cannot be separated, and so the struggle to understand and live the philosophy is an ongoing process.
这种理念既包含约束也包含自由。少数观点的丧失被视为一种挣扎。为适应主流观点而做出的改变带来了一种归属感。身处教师群体中的个体既试图坚持自己的观点，又要认识并支持群体的需求。从这种挣扎中，产生了自由感和成长感，以及对他人的尊重和支持。然而，在本研究捕捉到的那个时间点，尊重个体比尊重思想的多样性更容易实现。事实上，这两者无法分开，因此理解并践行这种理念的挣扎是一个持续的过程。
