Politicians and Social Order
A social order. A person's beliefs and values that allow
them to make the choices that to have the type of
government they want. My social order- one of an
African-American, 17-year-old, low middle-class female-
will differ widely from my mother's, or Shemair's, or even
your social order. For instance, I strongly value education.
So does my mother, Shemair, and I am sure you do, too.
My mother might value my education because it will help
her later on in life. Shemair might value my education
because it means that we will be able to move out after
graduation. You as my teacher, will value my education
because it proves that your education was good and your
life as a teacher is worthwhile. I value my education for the
sake of getting knowledge. Everyone might have the same
value and yet they will have different reasons for valuing it.
The same is true of our political values. People might want
a strong government because of the type of social order
that they hold.
The government maintains my personal and political social
order. The government allows me to vote for people who
have the same purposes as I do. Representatives who fall
into my political social order are the ones who will get my
vote as I get older. For instance - the issue of abortion. I
am strongly against abortion for any reason at any time.
When it comes time to vote for people to be a part of my
state government, I am going to choose someone who
believes that killing at any stage in life is immoral. This way,
through elections, I will have the ability to participate in the
government. I will have someone who protects individual
rights, thus maintaining my social order, and keep the
government holding the same ideas as me.
The principle of our democratic government will allow me to express my
individualism. My personal liberty will be established because the government
protects our interacting values that we hold. Another value that we have is
the idea of
them to make the choices that to have the type of
government they want. My social order- one of an
