While it's true that the core of the double bind is two conflicting demands, the differences lie in how they are imposed on the victim, what the victim's understanding of the situation is and finally, who (or what) imposes
these demands upon the victim.
The truth about these crimes needs to be provided for the protection of
victims of those crimes but also people and society (national and international) in general: the identity formation taking place in schools touches
upon individual and collective (national) identities at the same time, the objectives of education under international human rights law
demand putting a student, an individual, in the centre of the learning process to fully develop his personality and at the same time take into account the
demands of democratic society in state and in the world — the world in which a person needs to manage and which needs good peaceful citizens.
Typically, a
demand is imposed
upon the
victim by someone who they respect (a parent, teacher or doctor), but the
demand itself is inherently impossible to fulfill because some broader context forbids it.
