Competition, Stability, and Civil Society Nepal is a very diverse country, within its borders there are 127 spoken languages, 125 ethnic groups, three ecosystems, numerous social castes, and when dealing with politics, over 120 political parties. While Nepal does host a plethora of political parties, there are three that stand out as the most noteworthy. These are the Maoists, Marxist-Leninist party, and the Nepali-Congress party (Harris, 2013a). The Maoists are the political party that fought against, and won, against the Hindu monarchy during the civil war that lasted a decade; this civil war ended in 2006 with the defeat of the Hindu monarchy (Harris, 2013b). The Maoists appear to be the most active group when it comes to civil disobedience. During the elections, they were responsible for bombings, force road closures, and even abductions in an effort to prevent the citizens of Nepal from voting (Harris, 2013a). In spite of these acts of disobedience, the Maoist party was still able to secure a minority in the CA (Harris, 2013b). Then there is the Marxist-Leninist part whose doctrine follows that of the leaders of Russia Marx and Lenin. In their charter, they aim to unite the lower class citizens and those of unfavorable castes and give them a political voice which has, up until recently, been overlooked (Communist Party, 2011). Finally, there is the Nepali-Congress party, who are the most central of the prominent political parties. The Nepali-Congress was also
The red guard movement can be primarily explained two different theories. The first theory is the lack of political cohesion and party factionalism among the elites starting during the Great Leap Forward, which boiled into 100 Flowers Campaign and then subsequently the Cultural Revolution (Meisner, 1999). It is the battle between these elite factions and the prohibition of dissent which resulted in the creation of the Red Guards, which in effect served as agent for the Maoist faction (Yang, 2000). The second theory would be the breakdown of societal institutions, such as education, leading up to

“It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party.”
In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley introduces the dystopia of a society created on the principle of social stability at all costs. Huxley wrote this book in 1932 hoping to warn future generations of what he feared might happen if society did not do something to stop the inevitable. The leaders of our society today hope for and work towards social stability without taking away primitive rights. Social stability can only be achieved by a society whose beliefs in social and ethical issues are never challenged. So even though modern society hopes for social stability, it is not a practical aspiration because it is obvious that some of the social and ethical
America; strong, safe and stable.The United States of America is experiencing a period of stability. Based on the past empires, Rome, Athens, and Macedonia´s qualities during their rise and stability, it is supported that America is also on a rise. In each empire, during the rise, the government, military, infrastructures and natural resources were all controlled and managed properly. Many people in America believe that America is on a fall because of the government leaders, spread out military, breaking infrastures and war with places that hold natural resources, however the people making this argument are simply only being pessimistic and looking for ways to degrade America, mainly based on opinion rather than fact. Right now, America
When it comes to financial stability, how stable would you consider yourself to be? The truth is, the majority of people are not really sure which of the economic class systems they fall into. Many believe they are better or worse off than they actually are, not truly knowing how the other economic classes live (Francis). Economy is defined as the system in which goods and services are produced, sold, and bought in a country, along with the careful use of money and resources (Economy); based on this definition, it is safe to say that economy is very closely related to the financial status of a country. Over the years, the United States has accumulated more debt than any other country in the world, therefore meaning that its economy is decreasing. So with all of this being said, how important is having a good financial status? The financial status of a country generally determines its allies, trade items and cost, and likelihood of coming out a war successfully. Since the United States and its citizens are becoming financially unstable, the public needs to focus on improving the country’s economy because the United States needs to reclaim its authority and power.
The civil war had such an impact on the U.S society. Also it was the most traumatic experience. About 620,000 soldiers lost their lives.

Statistics on prison matters are some of the known facts in the United States of America. For example, the current populations show that 1 out of every 100 citizens in America are incarcerated. Economic and social stability in law has been one of the major goals of the government in the United States of America. The population increases, there are also high chances in which the number of prisoners are likely to increase. The United States is increasingly developing strategies that would be used in ensuring the sustainability in prisons has been achieved. According to such explanations, the rehabilitative programs have been implemented as the best of alternative in restoring sustainability in prison. They represent all the efforts that are aimed at developing the prisoners in various ways in order to maximize success. Though many people view this action as an invalid strategy, I tend to agree that rehabilitative programs are the best alternatives in restoring sustainability in prisons.
The statement “Conformity is a jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,” was spoken by John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, in an attempt to boost American morale. The idea that is being conveyed is that conformity limits freedom, inspiration, and independence, which are the traits that brought the United States to where it is now. Conformity, defined as acting in order and in compliance with social behavior and law, is an extremely ambiguous term, but it means that creativity and originality can be lost due to the standards set by authoritative figures. Many works of literature share the common connection that runs through all of their collective plots and express the dangers of agreeing with society. In Arthur Miller’s drama The Crucible, the theocratic community of Salem is engulfed by hysteria over witchcraft and is reluctantly led to oppose the court’s defense of the truth. In the Scientific American article “Why Are We So Afraid of Creativity?” by Maria Konnikova, she concludes that people try not to get imaginative due to societal restrictions that clash with their ambitions, which results in people that are compelled to repress their creative urges under the greater authority, and to never be very productive, as society has its fears of the extent of creativity. The Apple Macintosh Commercial “1984” tries to sell Macintoshes by persuading that these products will stray from the drab and conventional style of the 1980s and bring
As I came from a country that is one party dominated—China, where I grew up, people are not much interested in China’s political system, since we did not have a say about who is going to be the chairman of China, nor making any changes to our political system. Therefore, I found it fascinated to study other country’s political parties.
perspectives that people discover from their parents and from others in society might be stereotypes and they do not realize this is happening(Parrillo 517).
Redford contributes ‘participation’ as one’s moral rights. It requires the governments to provide access to individuals with informations, rights to have open discussion on policy making, consideration of one’s open claim. Mahatma Gandhi once mentioned, public opinions can keep any society real and pure. Recognizing men’s will and ability is the true test of democracy. In the light of this, men should be given the right to assert his/her positions and the right to refuse. In the case of FIRC,if citizen refuses to accept electoral system, it is fair for them to not follow the law. If a legal citizen of a country have the rights to refuse any imposed force, it is true for a citizens of any target country to refuse a foreign country’s policy
In addition, these two groups share similarities, both being voluntarily organized groups of people, that are involved in the process of politics. They each have a significant role in democratic societies. They work towards specific goals in the government and both encourage politicians and raise money to accomplish those goals. They are involved in interest expression, political socialization, political communication and leadership requirement. They both have key roles in the social and political life of the
Many studies have demonstrated the idea that institutions are the main factor of economic development because empirical evidence points to strong institutions being able to determine large growth of GDP per capita. Although the characteristics of strong institutions can be described as the potential fundamental cause of economic growth, the effects of geography and materials available to different certain regions have a huge hand in properly developing a society economically and allowing for further growth. The resources of the countries heavily depend on the raw materials available to each region and the kinds of animals they are able to domesticate. This is where the argument circulates around in which geography is a large determinant of whether a civilization or society can prosper in a certain area or not.
