If we choose to write and speak simplistically, in Plain English, this satisfies most of us. If this writing (and these conversations) come from a more emotional perspective, this best expresses the frustrations experienced by many, if not most who work within and receive these services. This style can also succinctly describe 'felt' needs & 'felt' community & service 'obligations'. Obligations that, in fact, do exist for everyone who wishes to enjoy the wider benefits of Community resources, as we will demonstrate. Unfortunately even Plain English can be confounding when it is difficult to understand 'why' a service is not available to you, when you 'feel' you need it and 'feel' justified in asking. Unfortunately we now mostly live within very critical & rather self-centred societies, that are usually poorly persuaded by purely emotional arguments. When we are trying to get help from a service (that we are now beginning not to understand) emotional arguments are often all we have available to us. This emotional approach does not work well where: Money is at stake; Where demands on a service are excessive; There is an impact upon and a need for adjustments (or accommodation) by the local community, or service; Where services & issues (and you) tend to challenge peoples' existing assumptions & prejudices; Or, Where there is a lack of basic, understanding of Human Rights, Civic Entitlements, Legal Constraints, Civil Requirements and all the associated responsibilities that go with the benefits that we should 'all' enjoy.
