Progressive Primary Identities:

The ultra archetypal Progressive Primary Identity is based on perfected ideal as God, super man or woman. In the classic Progressive System called 'old world values', because the woman possesses a close attachment to the body-ego, she is officially placed second to the man, considered not capable of overcoming the strictures of the inferior natural body, and achieving a Primary Identity based on perfected ideal. Children as the least developed are rated below, based on the degree of progressive education they have absorbed and have conformed. The authority for human thought and behavior is external to the individual.

In the real world the Progressive Primary Identity usually takes the form of an occupation.

'What do you do?' is the common refrain. Occupation means the product produced, and the amount of money generated. The Consequence of each of these objectives is assessed by Numerical Evaluation. The product produced such as health worker, maintenance man or gardener, produces a result measured against the progressive idyllic icon. The health worker, maintenance man and gardener maintain conditions as they already are and tend to produce little or no profit, and thus with an accordant degree of wages are low ranking. That which makes a profit gets a higher ranking. An invention may produce a service to mankind or simply be a useless fad which generates revenue. In either case the ranking is higher since profit is produced with accordant increase in monetary wealth. In contrast religious folk may consider their religious Identity as Primary, and any occupational Identity as a Secondary.

A Primary Identity can be housewife, or it can be a management job. If it is a management job, the Identity of housewife would probably be a Secondary Identity.
