"[A] personal order is never static, either, but is continually tested and modified through experience, access to new information, reinterpretation of the past, and discourse with other people."

"Never static." I like the use of that phrase to describe an individual's personal order. I definitely agree with that. For people to grow, they have be learning not only about the world and the people around them but most importantly about themselves, and in this process of learning, their beliefs, attitudes, and personality (or personal order) evolves. Just like the quote says, experiences, new information, reinterpretation of past events, and conversation with others continually shapes one's personal order and way of life. As individuals learn, they mature, and their values change. I can definitely see how this has been taking place in my life. My personal order has evolved and developed so much just since I have been in college. 

Do you guys know of people whose personal orders remain static? I can think of people whose personal orders wouldn't change possibly because they choose to just live according to the personal orders that their parents (or other authority figures) have set for them instead of discovering life and their identities on their own, but they still have their own unique life experiences that would cause their personal orders to evolve, wouldn't they? So their personal orders DON'T remain static?
