An Ideal Society

The society reflect the people and the people are a reflection of their community. The continuum dance of interaction is a necessity to create and identity of a people and a place. Furthermore, in creating an ideal society, the dance is such that every part of the society is allowed to listen to their own music in such a way that it does not impede someone else’s music avoiding stepping on someone else’s foot. And in order to build a strong and intellectually sound write up, an equally strong reference list is needed to do that, hence this paper.

Understanding of the basics of a subject matter is the key to understanding the subject itself. And in the book Alexander (2016) mentioned and defined sociology and the various aspect of sociology. This is very important and relevant to the final paper. Although this is not a journal, it is a good resource that brings value to the definition or the work.

Just like the initial reference listed above, this is also providing definition and beyond that giving context to the interactions of that happen in the society and how this affects each other. I also show the diverse theories in the world of sociology and their relevance in modernization using workplace as a template. This is a great source and give body to the ideology of the topic giving it strong foundation.

In the bid to create an ideal society, we must understand that the imbalance created in the society just as Marx’s’ theory shows that there are classes and these classes creates tensions in the society, interrupting the dance as I illustrated in the introduction. And when there is an interruption and a disturbance in the equilibrium, the society tries to return to a state of normal, by creating different forms of law enforcement. This book, studies this dynamics and how the society responds to it.

Çevirgen (2020) discussed what we’re to look out for in our bid to created and live in an ideal society. The fabrics that make this possible, the very idea that this is possible was discussed and the challenges the very core of this idea. In an idea situation, we don’t have this society around us, and the drive for it is a constant one. Ongoing and it takes the participation of all involved in the society to make it possible. This is a major reference in the write up as it puts flesh and body to the topic

To have an ideal society, the various fabric of that society should the able be able to represent themselves in the larger scheme of things. Just like Marx mentioned in his theory that the classes created in the society give power to a group over some others. When the group with certain authority and power beginning to abuse their power and exerting, they authority beyond the fairness group and equity is no longer guaranteed. This is a great reference, and it makes the challenges of a society understandable. Which is needed to understand this topic
