Introduction
To begin with, it is necessary to emphasize that the social thinker Carl Rogers suggested that every human independently on the social position or station deserves “unconditional positive regard.” As the key aim of the Rogerian argumentation is to locate the general basis between the two opposing views, it is necessary to classify the assumptions of every part. Anyway, any consumption on the matters of Rogerian considerations presupposes a safer society model, which is often a better solution, focused on the more objective measures. The effective start of the implementations of these suggestions would be to use more screening technology on public transportation. However, the person-centered approach, which is discussed in detail, enhances the effectiveness of the coaching approach, suggested by Rogers.
Discussion
Originally, the philosophy of Rogerian thought may be compared with the Christian principle, as initially it is based on Christian principles, Muslim rules and Hindu teachings and so on and so on. Hudson (1999) emphasized the following: “It originates in a much larger paradigm. Rogers suggested that people must respect and give optimistic regard even to the deviant and inconsistent sectors of our culture. People should treat the murderer and the Good Samaritan equally. It is necessary to recognize their existence as humans as well as their right to coexist on the planet. There is no necessity to view the deviant as a sinner; instead, he/she should be regarded as a co-inhabitant of this earth”. To broaden the regard of Rogerian consumption, it should be emphasized that Rogers wished the deviant to realize others with this same unconditional positive regard.
Thus action would place the essential part of responsibility upon the deviant population of the world. In other words, like Hudson (1999) claims: “In other words, the deviant must take responsibility for being a deviant, but must respect the lives of those not of that particular ilk. Hence, deviants could become productive citizens and law-abiding actors in society.” Peltier (2001) in his turn makes an accent that Human Secularism is absolutely parallel to the Rogerian paradigm. It is often regarded as the belief in the goodness of human life is the origin of people’s existence. Rogers was a Christian and in fact attended Union University of Theology. Unlike Freud who regarded that every person had some trace of sexual gratification and incestuous frustration, Rogers suggested that all humans are having an innate positive side, a positive self-regard. Anyway, the effectiveness of the coach fully depends on the coach him- herself, as the Rogerian view and the paradigm of Christian principles in life will not increase this effect because of the only fact that coaching requires a multi-angle approach, and the Rogerian regard is one of these angles.
Conclusion
Finally, it is necessary to emphasize that Rogerian thinking is the Christian hyperbole. Rogers believed that there is the much deeper and essential definition of the Christian principle that exists than the respecting of the neighbor. The operative notion in the Christian regard is “repent,” which is regarded as the change. Rogers, in his turn, did not aim to ask the deviant to repent. He just wished the deviant respected him or herself and respected the existence of the others. Originally, this key notion could be placed on the basis of coaching. It would not increase its effectiveness, however, it would promote the development of inter-human relations based on mutual respect.
