are the source of the constraints imposed on me. This constraint prevents me from completely expressing who I am as an individual. The institutional structure would be my parents as the ultimate authority; my siblings and I have a set of rules and beliefs we must follow. Because they are our parents we do as they say to show our respect. My parents would obviously have the formal power, but society have also have some informal power.

Throughout history, philosophers, kings, and leaders have all had different, conflicting views on how empires and kingdoms run effectively. Countries fight entire wars over the chance to instill the “correct” way of governing onto another people.

One of the most contentious debates of modern times is whether religious beliefs should be included as a basis of evaluating and implementing public policy. While modernization and secularization are seen as signs of progress and development, adherence to religion or involving religious beliefs is seen as backward, primitive, outdated and irrelevant to the workings of the political system by many. This is based on the idea of linear development and that total secularism and abandonment of…

According to Plato, true knowledge comes from a world without change. Also, known as the Theory of Form; in which everything stay in its perfect form. On the other hand, if knowledge that was obtain from the world of change, it is more so called opinion knowledge, because true knowledge never change.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. Whether it is religion or personal preference, people like to have their opinions.
