Pollard’s positive Deconstruction Theory
Pollard has formulated a concept called ‘positive deconstruction’. It is a tool to engage, through dialogue, with the people who have developed and adopted a certain world view (Pollard, 1997:46).The process is done in a positive way, in order to understand what people believe. “It is only when the leader is able to comprehend what the world views is, that he or she can start to ask questions” (1997: 47). He also suggests four elements that need to be involved in the process of deconstruction (1997: 48). The researcher explains these elements latter part of this Chapter.
The purpose is “to help people to step outside their world view loops and ask themselves difficult questions” (1997: 41 &73). “The aim is to assist people to discover the inadequacies of the world view they have adopted” (1997: 29 & 73).
On the other hand, “the process is ‘positive’, and this means that the deconstruction will be done to benefit those who are being assisted. This will be done in order to replace the world view with a view that will not be counterproductive to those who are adopting the ideology.
