2. There is conflict in all human societies, and all societies have
systems for regulating it. Conflict between people or groups often
arises from competition for resources, power, and status.
Social change can be potent in evoking conflict. Rarely if ever is a
proposed social, economic, or political change likely to benefit
every component of a social system equally, and so the groups
that see themselves as possible losers resist
The desire for complete freedom to come and go as one pleases,
carry weapons, and organize demonstrations may conflict with a
desire for public security. The desire for resolute, efficient decision
making—in the extreme, a dictatorship—may conflict with a desire
for public participation—in the extreme, a democracy in which
everyone votes on everything.
3. Even when the majority of the people in a
society agree on a social decision, the
minority who disagree may have some
protection. In the U.S. political system.
One strategy for political minorities is to join
forces, at least temporarily, with other small
groups that have partly similar interests.
4. In addition, societies have developed many
informal ways of airing conflict, including
debates, strikes, demonstrations, polls,
advertisements, and even plays, songs, and
cartoons. The mass media provide the free
means for (and may even encourage) small
groups of people with a grievance to make
highly visible public statements.
Intergroup conflict, lawful or otherwise, does not
necessarily end when one segment of society
finally manages to effect a decision in its favor.
5. Nations and cultures are increasingly
dependent on one another through
international economic systems and shared
environmental problems
Global system is becoming a tightly knit web
in which a change in any one part of the web
has significant effects on the others.
6. • Nations interact through a wide
variety of formal arrangements
1. Diplomatic relations
2. Military and economic alliances
3. Global organizations
7. Nations interact through a wide variety
of informal arrangements
1) Cultural exchanges
2) The flow of tourists
3) Student exchanges
4) International trade
5) The activities of nongovernment
organizations with worldwide membership
8. National wealth depends not only on how
much a nation can produce for itself but also
on the balance between how much its
products are bought by other nations and
how much of other nations' products it seeks
Even if a country can produce everything it
needs by itself, it still benefits from trade with
other countries
9. A value is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful. Whether
we are consciously aware of them or not, every individual has a core set of
personal values. Values can range from the commonplace, such as the
belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as
self-reliance, concern for others, and harmony of purpose.
10. Likewise, we see how political parities and politicians subscribe to certain
core values -- ranging from helping the poor, easing the burden of the
middle class, improving the environment, making government responsive
and efficient, engendering loyalty and unity, and so forth.
11. The key point to keep in mind about values is that implementing them
energizes everything concerned with it. For an individual, committing to
and applying values releases fresh energies, which always attract success,
achievement, and well-being.
