Abstract
Social action based on values considered absolute is analyzed by the use of data from two conscientious objector camps and the religious agency which administered them. The conditions of the social action consist of the value-orientation of the religious agency and of the government, the work programs, and the material milieu of the camps. These conditions interacted with the diverse and, in part, contrary value-orientations of the individual conscientious objectors. In this process special social roles and contending interest groups developed. In addition to this unstable social structure, a general pattern of adjstment is discernible, presenting various degrees of accommodation, assimilation, and conflict.
