The perfect societies have been crumbled by the simplest of thing such as people, beliefs, and customs. There has never been as a society that has been able to sustain its self and not had to back up on in way or change their customs because of a foreign power or conquest. But in the ideal society where the leaders care and have the best interest of the country itself. I could see where the society could be better. But there is always a struggle for power or land. There has always been this fight going on through the ages. Just look at Julius Caesar, he was killed for his power as well as someone having different ideas for the city of Athens. This is why there is and cannot be a perfect or ideal society. If the leaders of the so called “Ideal society” break or obstruct the laws for the good of the country it has turned into a dictatorship rather than a democracy. But after people obtain the structure of the dictator’s rule they will conform. Most …show more content…
As well as the fight for equality. There has never been as a society that has been able to sustain its self and not had to back up on in way or change their customs because of a foreign power or conquest. But in the ideal society where the leaders care and have the best interest of the country itself. I could see where the society could be better. But there is always a struggle for power or land. There has always been this fight going on through the ages. Just look at Julius Caesar, he was killed for his power as well as someone having different ideas for the city of Athens. If everyone was equal, then it would be a total and utter wasteland of political struggles. The reason is that people wouldn’t have any rules or anyone to follow. Therefore no one would know what to do or what they can and cannot do in the world. But the world has gotten close in years past and present. But it always falls, because the fight for
Equality is not something we get to have when we come into this world. It is something that is being fought for and will continue to fight for as long as people think of themselves and do not think of the consequences that may occur from their own actions. In the book “Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt” by Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco they narrowed in on what structural violence is. The different examples of injustices that were occurring around the countries. Lastly explains the ways the oppressed used there actions, words, and ideas to fight the injustices. Injustices are all around world many of which still have a lot of control to this day and take a toll on the less able. Allowing large corporations to dictate what will be said and done.
...downfall.Mostly societies fall due to whoever is leading them, like in Athens they were told to retreat inside of the walls which lead to an outbreak that killed ⅓ of the city’s population.Although trying to make a “perfect” society never ends up working out, we can learn from our mistakes and always try to make ours better. As I once said, “It is not possible to create a perfect society for imperfect beings.”
This investigation plans to explore the multiple political parties that existed during the French Revolution and how their doctrines reflected that of the citizens of the French Empire, from 1789 to 1799. This paper will focus upon the ideas of egalitarianism, or the belief in equality.
What is a great society? The key components to a great society are good economic values, strong government, and to make sure your citizens are happy. However, these societies have the opposite of that. These societies have bad laws and rules, citizens living in poverty, and they go through a ton of wars, but losing every single one. Leaving almost all of their soldiers dead. Minority of the societies getting treated unfairly, citizens rioting, dying, with no food, water, or even shelter for them. The reason why great societies fall is because of wars, poverty of citizens, and the bad rules and laws of these societies.
Aldous Huxley famously once said in his novel, Brave New World, that there is “No social stability, without individual stability.” This ideology is specifically true in society’s lives today, as in order for us to work together in a community, we must first satisfy all of our individual needs. Humans are all innately selfish and self-centred and when our lives are on the line we will think more about ourselves than our neighbours and peers. A community of people is a mixture of people from different backgrounds and cultures who hold a multitude of different ideologies and beliefs. In order for a community to retain its stability and thus its health and harmony, the stability of each of its individual members must be fulfilled. A person’s independent security can only obtain stability through an abundance of a variety of resources at their disposal, a set of rules or laws and people who enforce them, and a community that they feel they belong in and share the same ideological beliefs. Without these basic needs, an
When you were younger I’m sure your teacher asked you and your classmates what you wanted to be when you grew up. I remember some of my classmates wanting to be a fireman, a police officer or a doctor. I wanted to be an educator. Being the naive and carefree child that I was, I had no knowledge of what responsibilities or rules would be packaged into this career. Now that I am in college earning my Bachelors in Elementary Education, my perspective of how a teacher should act and care for their students. As you continue reading, I will discuss my professional responsibility, the code of ethics I will follow, and the high moral standard that I set for myself.
In any circumstance, whether it be a fictional or a real one, there is always the strain to be perfect. Most often, the pressure to be perfect causes the means of becoming it to be tainted. Dystopian texts relate this idea to societies as these societies strive to be perfect, but in the means of doing so leave their people oppressed and manipulated. Through the eyes of characters that see dystopian societies as they really are, the key issues of these texts are revealed to be the detrimental effects of government manipulation, conformity, and technology.
Most wonder if the moment they are currently living in is the beginning, middle, or end of their existence. Did we live a previous life in another time or another place? What awaits us in the afterlife, or is there an after life at all? If our spirit can be held in the physical world, what allows that? There is an abundance of studies that suggest there is an after life that awaits us, but with what proof? Some of these sources that we read aren’t credible, yet we’re more prone to believing it. Will we all find the answer when we die? Can we find the answer while we still live? Philosophers or not, we all know that our life will one day cease to exist and every individual will one day meet their death. Truth is, most of us don 't even know what life is. We are brought into this world, we live it, we reproduce in our best years and then our bodies slowly deteriorate. We call this last phase our death, but do
Historically, human beings have longed for an ideal society that would maintain a sense of well-being and balance. Different types of personalities have shaped this world into finding explanations on how to make this ideal society a reality. Hierarchies throughout the centuries have built up social barriers such as governments, politics, and popular culture to help embody this human progression towards economic perfection and stability. However, through life events and the variety of its restraints on the coexistence of mankind, an unimpaired civilization is paradoxically unattainable under any of these social constructs. The mediums that allow advancement are also limitations that withhold societal ideas and values. This phenomenon was heavily
alignment. Pandavas have a common goal. But the individuals had their individual targets. Team building calls for the sublimation of individual ego in favor of the greater good.
The question, “ What makes a good society” is never the same for every individual that comes across trying to answer this sociological question. What may work in one society, may not work in another. But I am guessing you already new that. Depending on the type of culture, location and era; a good society can be anything. If you were to have been raised in the western side of the world, your good society is one of a democracy. Where the people have power and we have checks and balances in our government. But what if you were raised in the east, were people live in a socialist-communistic society. Where the government has the power and people are treated equally. Who is to say which type of society is “good”?
Civic Culture is regarded by many political scientists as the most important factor for a nation to possess to maintain healthy a democracy. However, while scholars like Robert D. Putnam agree with this assertion, Civic culture is not enough to sustain a healthy democracy in a country, it must be paired with the ‘right’ of the four aspects of civic culture (unbiased media, cross cutting cleavages with memberships, etc.) as well as paired with a dependable economy, I will show this through an examination of cases studies of Italy and Germany.
The achievement of these goals will lead to a healthier and more fulfilling existence, further emphasizing the importance of the ideal society. Although individuals grouped together create the idea of society, it is solely the interactions of people, how they care for each other, and how well individuals adapt to different systems which will eventually dictate the overall success of an ideal society. Even though a perfect society is far from being achieved, stable and effective systems may be implemented until such a thing happens.
Throughout history different types of instrumental regimes have been in tact so civilizations remained structured and cohesive. As humanity advanced, governments obligingly followed. Although there have been hiccups from the ancient times to modern day, one type of government, democracy, has proven to be the most effective and adaptive. As quoted by Winston Churchill, democracy is the best form of government that has existed. This is true because the heart of democracy is reliant, dependent, and thrives on the populaces desires; which gives them the ability for maintaining the right to choose, over time it adjusts and fixes itself to engulf the prominent troubling issues, and people have the right of electing the person they deem appropriate and can denounce them once they no longer appease them. In this paper, the benefits of democracy are outlined, compared to autocratic communism, and finally the flaws of democracy are illustrated.
Yet, the gauge we use to define these things, or the level of importance they hold in our lives, can be dangerous. Again, what is our value system?
