The upper class residences were better organized and maintained while the lower classes simply used what they had as best they could. Buddhism stressed maintaining order in society, government, family and the aesthetics of a the Royal Palace were an advertisement of that order. The Emperor was the ultimate human authority charged with maintaining social order and as such had to maintain strict order around himself as a public demonstration that he was the ultimate human authority.

According to Kenney, it is the responsibility of clinicians to use their sensory processes to determine how these communications are articulated and to then to reflect them back to the communication system that is experiencing difficulties. This recursive mirroring process is described by Kenney as being "sociofeedback" that people can use to help readjust their relationships with their environment. In sum, the author maintains that it is the clinician's mirroring

..]. Furthermore, studies indicate that between 60 and 80% of college women engage in regular binge eating and other abnormal behaviours that fall short of the criteria set by clinical scales.

Threats Luckily, Medicis Aesthetics' capital position as a subsidiary of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation also enables it to better weather external threats to the company, which certainly exists for the industry as a whole.
