The Various Types and Axes of Integration

- Although the concept of integration is perceived at the level of the state in the above example, the concept of gender integration should also be brought up at the supra-state level; thus, when he multinational groups for competition are being formed, one would also do well to factor in the gender approach.

- ECOWAS is an economic entity. Its outlook should not be diverted by a sort of professional distortion which will not be able to understand that its "marketing" is done through the creation of the need for the peoples of the Member States to live together. This certainly constitutes one of the best investments. Therefore, to dispel the congenital fear that men have of their neighbours, action should be taken on two fronts:

- children,

- curiosity and the pleasure of discovery.

Children should be encouraged to take pleasure in the discovery of differences, by increasing the number of meetings and dynamic exchanges whereby adults will abstain from heightening their pride of authorship with regard to what "WE" brought to the "give and take table".

It may appear strange to those who have not properly weighed these issues that nature can dissociate men and make them susceptible to attack and to destroy one another: perhaps, it is because of their incredulity of this inference which is guided by passion that man would like to see it confirmed by experience. Thus, doing a soul-searching while away on a journey, he arms himself and seeks to have good company; as he goes to bed, he locks his doors; in his own house, he locks his cases. And in all of this, he knows that there are laws and armed public officials to avenge all the wrongs which could be done against him: he should ask himself what opinion he has of his compatriots when he travels armed; of his compatriots, when he locks his doors, and of his children and servants, when he locks his cases. Is he not incriminating humanity by his deeds in much the same way as I do with my words? But neither of us is incriminating human nature by that act. Man's desires and other passions are not sins in themselves. So are the actions which arise out of these passions, as long as men do not know of any law which forbids them; and they can not know about laws as long as none has been made. And yet, no law can be made, as long as men have not been consulted on who has to make it. HOBBES.
