Over the history of the world, amazing societies have developed around the globe. However, in order for these societies to prosper an order of hierarchy has to be established. These hierarchies often have a government of some sort that rule under the laws of either order or liberty. Extensively, order has been a better choice than liberty. Firstly, One of the greatest societies which lasted for over 3000 years, known as Ancient Egypt, ruled under the laws of order. This society made advances in multiple areas such as agriculture, army, math, science, and literature. Ancient Egypt used religion as a form of order to ensure that the people were all doing what they were supposed to do and that they were listening to their pharaoh (who was chosen

    Between 600 BCE and 600 CE, religion played an important role in the social order of the Middle East. The introduction of monotheistic religions challenged earlier polytheistic religions and caused people to have faith in in one almighty god.

    “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” –Marcus Garvey. The U.S. is a combination of many cultures and influences over the centuries and because of this we are alike to many of them. We could name many of these influences: the Greeks, the Chinese Dynasties but the Romans were particularly like us. We might see them as barbaric is some ways but the reality is that the U.S. takes pages from many areas of the Romans, and comparisons could be drawn between both of us. Examples include government, our religions, and in some ways entertainment. The U.S. is much like the old Roman Empire was more than a millennium ago

    ...d guidelines for the citizens to follow to remain in civil order and to avoid chaos. Many early types of this can be seen and parallels to early civilization through stories such as Hammurabi establishing the code of laws in which the residents would follow, but Osiris was simply attempting to make the lives of those around him more civilized and did not install the social rules based on quests for power, much like early rulers were believed to have done. With this being based in early Egyptian mythology, it can be apparent that the Egyptians felt some form of equality and respect between the king and the civilians in which he resided over, which had not been seen in other early human forms of civilization.

  • Hammurabi And Machiavelli's Theory Of Social Order In Ancient Society

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    Who decided what was right or wrong and how order would be made in ancient societies? There couldn 't have just been a constitution that everyone followed in the beginning of time. People of ancient times must have come to some agreement to keep everyone well governed to prevent chaos and destruction to society. While undefined, I believe that most theorists addressed social order by defining social rules and ways of living that were believed to be fair for all. Such theorists as Aristotle, Hammurabi and Machiavelli were some of the many who had their own opinions on how the believed, “Government” per-say was created and how it should be ran.

  • Sparta: Infrastructure, Social Structure, and Superstructure

    1515 Words  | 4 Pages

    Spartan culture is a great example of how a society’s infrastructure will directly affect both, its social structure and superstructure. It also serves as a warning that any society that becomes too rigid in its structure and too static in its values will not last long when confronted with more agile and adaptable cultures. This paper will explore why Sparta became the Hellenic army par excellence, how this worked to create a very specific social structure founded on martial values, and, finally, how that social structure would ultimately be the undoing of the culture.

    Freedom is a critical part of any society - without freedom citizens tend to become unhappy and no longer want to associate with their government. However the same goes for order; no order means anarchy and anarchy means that the people will want to disassociate with the community. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys crash land on an uninhabited island in the Pacific in the midst of war and must establish a functioning society based on what little they know about government from civilized life. A new society as had to be formed during the French Revolution, also by people with limited political experience. They based their new government off of Enlightenment ideas that would ensure them their natural rights: life, liberty,

Social order was the structure of a civilized society created by human and it determines where one is placed and their duty.

    The genealogy of morals finds it's antecedents and roots in religion, which takes an amoral "Social Contract," and quickly transmogrifies it into a system of Good and Bad. The social contract is necessary for any civilization to occur, as anarchy, (i.e. the absence of a governing body,) is the antithesis of civilization. All the civilizations of history have been governed by a body, be it a plutocracy, oligarchy, democracy, dictatorship, etc. Even third-world tribes of Africa and South America are governed by a patriarch.

  • Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer's Arguments About Social Order in Modern Society

    1495 Words  | 3 Pages

    At the first glance of the words “social order”, one will notice that the phrase is about a stable society, with everyone having one common understanding of the world. However, if one must delve beneath the surface of the controversial phrase, one will notice that leaders of this concept created this system so that persons dwelling in that society would view certain situations, and the system itself, as being equal, fair and just. Traditionally, in order to have a society in which the persons are engaged in some form of order, a number of restrictions were implemented on freedom of speech and also the sharing of ideas among peers. The concept of “social order” allows persons in a particular society to have one constant cultural (religious), and political belief. Based on Comte and Spencer’s argument, social order in modern society should not be as strict as that in traditional society because of our ability as individuals to think rationally.

  • Leadership In Ancient Civilizations

    1293 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the period of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, different leaders exhibited different styles of leadership and employed different political strategies. In addition, these leaders came to power and maintained their control in their own unique ways. Each leader seemed to have his own agenda, which set the tone for that era. Five prominent leaders of this time period were Agricola, Augustus, Julius Caesar, and the brothers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus. The point to be made with respect to these particular men is related to the obvious correlation between the nature of a leader’s agenda and the impact of his reign. In the end, a ruler’s fate was dependent not on his agenda, but on style and strategy with which he pushed his agenda. Those leaders whose methods were completely altruistic were heralded as great leaders, while those with devious and/or unethical methods of pushing their agendas were hastily assassinated.
