My Social Theory

Image via Wikipedia

I came across a cool site today for twitter.  For all of you that like to answer questions this is for you TwitAnswers as I was browsing around I came onto a question by @lrivets.

QUESTION: My instructor posted the following question: How does the law maintain stability in our social, political and economi …

MY ANSWER: because people need to be told their boundaries and those who don’t need to be punished…You could say social theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_theory

Prevention of actions that will later “impact the victim in THEORY this will predict the way they contribute to society”

There will always be a need for law and enforcement in my opinion until people start to act as a whole “community” and develop, giveback and do not tolerate acts of rage, malice, violence, and gaining from another loss. The closer we will get to have a decline in violent acts, sexual abuse, emotional/behavior issues, depression, anxiety, hunger, debt, et al.

Why is it as a society why aren’t we more aware of others?  Why is it okay for someone to impose harm or malice?  The only answer is acceptance we are selfish and what is out of sight is out of mind.  It is alright for us to watch the news and hear about the troubles of the world and we can say how terrible it is…but after those words leave our lips we accept it.  How many people do you know see a need for action research it and wee how they can help?

From what I see people are naturally “good” people but need direction in developing their role in society or “finding their purpose”.  I wonder where we would be as a society if we helped develop each others strengths?

In reality it would not take  much to make an effort and seek out something to contribute:

• Engagement with a stranger: with a goal set to find a way you could help them
• Give honest and fair insight to someones problem with the intent to help them solve the issue
  • (Why do we feel the need to tell someone something they are doing wrong and not have a plan to help them solve that issue?  Why bring it up if you do not have a solution-goes back to developing strength)
• Start a thoughtless fund- taking the extra change that falls beneath the cushions, under your seat in the car, you find on the road and give it to someone
• Buy the person behind you (if you have the means) their purchase this usually would pertain to a gas station, coffee house, candy bar etc…

What is your opinion?  Why do you think we have a “survival of the fittest” outlook, when we are educated about this and know it is an instinct?  Are we not as smart as we think when we know all about this, but do nothing to fix our known faults?
