1. The first level of development - Cognitive Reorientation
At this level we consider the sense of values. Our judgement of superiority or inferiority depends on our sense of values. For example, if I think that financial prosperity is of great value, I will begin to feel inferior when I meet a person who is richer than me. If I do not think so, I will not feel inferior. If I think that having a university degree is of great value, I will feel inferior when I meet someone who has a degree higher than mine. If I think that physical height is of great value, I will feel inferior when I meet a person taller than me. Our feeling of inferiority or low self-esteem depends on our sense of values. Therefore the problem is solved at this level by changing our sense of values.
