Social order arises from dialogue, persuasion or command. Discuss…

- - - - Outside sociology people often use the term "social order" to refer a state of stability and consensus that exists when there is an absence of chaos or upheaval.
    - - Social order arises out of 'shared beliefs, values, norms and practices that a group of people hold in common'
      - His is a view of social order that sees it in the practices and social interactions of daily life as well as those associated with rituals and important events.
      - ccording to Durkheim, it is through our interaction with these institutions and with the people around us with whom we interact and build relationships with that we participate in the maintenance of rules and norms and behave in ways that enable the smooth functioning of society. In other words, we work together to maintain social order.
        
        This perspective on social order became the foundation for the functionalist perspective which views society as the sum of interlocking and interdependent parts that evolve together to maintain social order.
      - For functionalists, particularly Durkheim, the answer to the problem of order in society lies not with having strong government, but with society itself instituting within its members an internal set of beliefs and values (the collective conscience). Durkheim believed that this was more important than the legal system set up by governments.
    - - Marx's critical view on social order is the basis of the conflict theory perspective in sociology which views social order as a precarious state that results from ongoing conflicts between groups in society that have uneven access to resources and rights.
        
        Therefore, does he believe the working class are 'commanded' by the upper classes??? what sort of theory does Marx propose
  - - - Order is achieved by the creation of rules and regulations that guide human behavior.
        
        Thomas Hobbes, the 17th century philosopher, who believed that humans are naturally selfish and competitive in nature. Hobbes felt that without strictly enforced rules and order to guide the selfish and competitive nature of man, social chaos would result. Thus he proposed the need for strong government that would appeal to the rational side of man. #

        A major goal of education is to foster internalisation of social norms by children and thus to affect their preferences.
- - - - 'any social order, including a society with a relatively effective system of social control, will require an element of coercion, but presumably a limited one circumscribed by a system of legitamite norms'
  - - - system 1: persuasion is non-rational
      - system 2 : persuasion is rational
