External Rapport and Internal Rapport

     The critical factor, in other words, is the device we accordingly keep close to a social model which has been previously accepted (in our view considered as the so-called "reality"). If we were not able to deactivate this device by modifying, when it is necessary, a social behaviour previously accepted, we would not be able to adjust ourselves to the changes in the surrounding environment. Through reading these pages of course you're not discovering hot water: you've been in "condition of rapport" plenty of times. To illustrate the concept of "the condition of rapport" we can remember the example of the character in the movie "E.T",  the alien landed by chance on earth. Most of the people who watch the movie feel displeased when the alien apparently dies. Actually they are feeling displeased for an electric puppet. The effectiveness of the movie and television messages will never be achieved without establishing a kind of "rapport". This device is called by film directors how "to grow the character". You should be worried about the character before being able to react.
