The different parts of society

can also be described as open dynamic, moving, active systems. A public view on these sub-systems of society does not always take into account  that they always interact and do not exist  exist independently of each other.

Society itself is a system

and can be described as a higher organised level of open dynamic systems in motion. An alteration in one sub-system will in some way and to some degree also affect the other systems.

Is man

then only one of the sub-systems of society? 

The answer is no! Society is formed by the people who are part of it.

A paradigm

is the sum of conscious and uncon-scious ideas and conventions wich generally characterise a groupe of individuals. The powers these people do, or do not, exert in their social life will also form their society and their culture. Society, its characteristics and functions, will thus always reflect the cultural ideas of a significant group of human individuals.

Only the human individual

can on a greater scale experience herself and her world, reflect, make decisions and act according to them!

The ideas that individuals have of themselves and their world creates a good, or bad, society.

Without individuals and their acting there is no society. It has no indepen-dent existence!

Changes and processes

in the sub-systems of society will in-evitably retroact on individuals in that society, affect their self-image and their image of the world and so influence their actions.

My own ideas

of myself, of my fellow humans and of the world around me, will determine my own actions. Thus my contributions to the sub-systems of society, either active or passive, will sooner or later affect also me in positive or negative,ways.
