Each one of the four societies are known to be as “disastrous” But one of these four societies turned out to have the best political, social, and economical systems. Society one may be known as a terrible place and the most evil it had a better system than the rest of the societies. Society one has the best political, economical, and social systems out of the four societies for the reasons of, well treated people, strong political and economical systems and the strong will to make their society the best it could be. Though it may be a devastating society it was best fit for the strong systems of PEGS.
Economically the society was in very good shape. Everyone who was able to work had a good job that payed for their families. Citizens were given many opportunities to get back on their feet and have a good life. “Everybody had a job, and a wage. To people who had been unemployed and starving, 'work and bread' was a wonderful blessing worth every civil liberty they lost.” The economy would help the poor and needy get back on their feet to keep a stable society. This led to having all most everyone in the society with a good paying job. “Within a few years after the new leader took power of this society, there was virtually no employment. Everyone who wanted a job had one.” The leaders job was to make sure that the people of the society were stable and had a the enjoyment and Beauty of Work Program. Also leaders were pledged to work and money coming thru for this, “The leaders worked to develop transportation routes in order to improve transport, trade and travel.” This helped the people have money and more wealth thru trade and freedom to travel. For this this societies economy was held higher as competition to the other societies. ...

... of these societies had flaws and were known to be “horrible”. Based on this topic of, Who has the better system of PEGS, the society with the best economy, political, and social rules is society one. Society one has good leaders, government, policies, And social interactions to make it the best fit for this category of PEGS. Summing up all of what I have stated is, Overall society one was a good stable society in government, political, economical, and social. Politically for good leaders and strong rules to keep citizens safe, economically for their ways of letting everyone work, and socially because of its ways of treating Its citizens with the same respect as others. Overall all of the societies had major flaws that led them to disasters but society one Had a better system of PEGS. I can support this from all the research and my strong understanding of the topic.
The economy was dramatically failing because the wealth had been handed out unfairly and much of the industry workers in the mining factories decimated during the accidents that occurred in those horrible working conditions. Due to the corruption of the government in the Gilded age, which lasted from the 1870 to the 1900s, most of the working class poor were barely struggling to stay alive and more family members had no choice but go into the labor force to provide for the family. The robber barons were held to much hostility in the society of American Capitalism. The society tried to look at the world from a scientific perspective, that according to Social Darwinist’s theory in America, the human society was viewed in regards to the working class poor and the issues of poverty as a result of their own failure, the lack of their own character, and the inability to adapt to their circumstances, rather than focusing on the issues of the unfair and hostile working conditions that the poor working class had faced.
Society is civilized, and to be civilized there must be rules, regulations and policies that prevent. Individuality leads to a mess of chaos. To prevent disorder, institutions in society keep these rules strongly enforced. Man creates these institutions in order to provide convenience and stability in everyday life. Then instead of man running these institutions, the institutions begin to reverse the role of power and the institutions are running man.
It was a time of great upheaval. Peasants were demanding that the land of the great estate owners be turned over to them because there was not enough land to provide food for all the villages. This caused the migration of many peasants to the factories.
I believe that the environment deiced whether a society will or will not have technology, militaristic and farming abilities imbedded within the society. That will give an advantage so that one society is better equipped than others.
The working class faced conditions in the factory that wealthier skill workers did not have deal with. These men were not in a comfortable financial situation at home, and could not find comfort in hazardous working conditions with the dangerous machines they had to operate. Workers were harmed daily and among these injured employees were children (Shi 62). Many of these children were as young as nine years old, and due to financial reasons their families sent them away to work in workshops, mines, and even in factories surrounded by dangerous machinery. Realistically, these children were doomed to working in a factory for their entire lives. They did not attended school and worked to help provide for their families. With no education, they would not be able to find a more prestigious job with higher pay. The waged for factory workers were low, but they were not always guaranteed. The Knights of Labor pushed for a federal law that would force employers to “pay employees weekly, in full, for labor performed during the preceding week” (Shi 62). These people were only working in harmful conditions to survive but were not guaranteed enough money to feed their families. Charity handouts did not necessarily help feed a poor family, but aimed to “... produce most beneficial results to [the] community” (Shi 60). This meant that the wealthy didn’t directly give citizens money, but
This essay will be explaining the definition of sociology, the sociological factors of obesity using Symbolic Interactionism Theory and the Functionalism Theory and a description of the medical condition obesity and how it may affect individuals suffering from it.
With this in mind, some perspective on the society of that time is vital. During this time the industrial revolution is taking place, a massive movement away from small farms, businesses operated out of homes, small shops on the corner, and so on. Instead, machines are mass-producing products in giant factories, with underpaid workers. No longer do people need to have individual skills. Now, it is only necessary that they can keep the machines going, and do small, repetitive work. The lower working class can no longer live a normal life following their own pursuits, but are lowered to working inhumane hours in these factories. This widens the gap between the upper and lower class-called bourgeois and proletariat-until they are essentially two different worlds. The bourgeois, a tiny portion of the population, has the majority of the wealth while the proletariat, t...
...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.”
...r a classless, productive, industrial society that was beneficial to all, the mere recognition of strength in numbers and class solidarity were fundamentally effective and paved the way not only for future governments but for future laborers.
While you could make the same point about slavery, the parts of the world where slavery is accepted in a legal sense is now fairly low to nearly nonexistent. So how can we define a system as similarly evil to another when slavery is declared unjust in nearly the whole world and systems such as communism are not declared evil in all parts of the world. In fact based on this it appears that slavery is in fact more of an evil than either of the systems of government mention. This is based on our view of slavery, in which it must be understood that our view of slavery is much different than that of what the Greek civilization view slavery as.
society has failed, but that it evidently has caused an extermination of the very civilization in which it
“The vision of one century is often the reality of the next…” (Nelson 108). Throughout time, great minds have constructed their own visions of utopia. Through the study of utopias, one finds that these “perfect” societies have many flaws. For example, most utopias tend to have an authoritarian nature (Manuel 3). Also, another obvious imperfection found in the majority of utopias is that of a faulty social class system (Thomas 94). But one must realized that the flaws found in utopian societies serve a specific purpose. These faults are used to indicate problems in contemporary society (Eurich 5, Targowski 1). Over the years, utopian societies have been beneficial in setting improved standards for society. By pointing out the faults of society, improvement is the most likely next step. Citizens should take advantage of utopian literature in order to better future societal conditions (Nelson 104). Because it is impossible to create a perfect society in which everyone’s needs can be met, society must analyze utopias in order to improve their existing environment.
Most flaws pointed out still pertain to society even in the U.S. For example, officials are sometimes elected with bribes not by their quality. The gap of wealth is still enormous for you see many homeless on the streets. Children are given away (surrogate mother) to families that can’t have them. The educational system teaches certain things that they won’t ever use, as well as not teaching children certain skills needed for day to day activity. This book opens people’s minds to flaws that they can’t always relate back to their own society.
There are many circles where the countries suffered and flourished with the system they placed on their governments and politics. The countries frequently get stuck in the cycle of virtuous circle, getting good benefits from this circle.Virtuous Circle is a beneficial cycle of events that will have positive effects on a country while vicious circle is an opposite of virtuous circle; vicious circle is a repeating cycle that events make things worse. In the readings of Acemoglu and Robinson, they stated the institutions and systems will be impacted by both circles, no matter how it is small or large.
Different states go through different types of political and economical systems through a life time. In this case, most of the agricultural society was largely supported by the feudal system social hierarchy. Karl Marx defined feudalism as the power of the ruling class based on the control of “arable land”, this in turn affected class society based on the exploitation of the peasants who farm these lands (Beitscher and Hunt, 2014). In the feudal system, most of the rights and privileges were given to the upper classes. In this hierarchical structure, the kings occupied the highest position, followed by barons, bishops, knights and peasants (History-world.org, 2014).Feudalism is considered to be the “medieval” form of government (Beitscher and Hunt, 2014). Before capitalism came around as an economic model most states were a feudalistic country. These systems had an affect on society due to the fact it impacts citizens by “controlling” how they live and interact. The peasants were required to work for the nobles in return for land. This hierarchy was fuelled by the religious assumptions of the time that stated kings, dukes and other nobles served by the will of God over everyone else lower down the social order (Beitscher and Hunt, 2014). As industrialism provided a much more technical understanding of the world, it challenged these religious assumptions for the social
