Society : Causes And Consequences Of A Secret Society

The topic that I would like to inform the class of is the Illuminati. The illuminati is a secret society started in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. The societies purpose it to establish a one world order.

Michael Ignatieff, a Practice of Human Rights Professor, observed a key characteristic in how humans relate and bond with one another: intuition shared within groups that helps set rules and regulations, ultimately setting them apart. His observation calls into question the connection between these unspoken rules, and the sense of belonging felt by group members. With his observations in mind, it is natural to assume that unspoken rules and belonging coincide because they define a group by giving them an image and general understanding of each other.

Throughout history the benefit of fitting within a social group has been discernable. That old adage “We’re stronger together” has had its roots in the very conception of society. You can accomplish more with a group of people than you can alone. The more this group of people expands, the more intricate their function in the society becomes, and therefore, the more influential that society is. However, what happens when, within the complex labyrinth of society and the members needed to keep its mechanisms moving, that society is faced with a piece it cannot work in to its machinery? The great coils of that society shutter at that idiosyncrasy, they ostracize it, but what

Community A community is a group of people interacting in a meaningful way with regard to something they share in common. It used to be that a community, in order to function as a group and interact, had to be in the same geographic location or at least within driving distance. Since the internet has now become so widely available we find that people with common interests and goals are reaching across vast distances to interact with each other. There is even language translation software available that can translate other languages into one's own.

Our society is headed for destruction, similar to the destruction in Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451. In this novel, the characters live in a society that is truly awful, but the author shows us that our society is heading down that path. However, in the story, the beliefs of the main character Guy Montag change drastically, from beginning the novel as an oblivious citizen to ending it by trying to change his society for the better. Guy lives in a society in which the government outlaws books because they cause people to ponder ideas and develop new ones. Consequently, with the stories stripped from their lives as if they had never existed, the citizens of this society blindly follow their government. Throughout the novel, the main

Lying you way through life? Have you ever told a lie? Just looking for a way out of a tense situation when you need it most? Are you afraid of what happens when you are under stress, do you tend to be "creative" with the truth?

Among the people, there is a group that aims to destroy Big Brother and bring back the glory days. A group known as the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood meet in private and talk about their plans. They are so discrete and private that nobody knows about who else is in the group, but only their own involvement. They also recruit others to join them: “Later I shall send you a book from which you will learn the true nature of the society we live in, and the strategy by which we shall destroy it.

Crime is defined by the Oxford dictionary as ‘an action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law.’ (Dictionary, 2015) Whereas deviance is failing to conform to the expectations held by society without necessarily breaking any laws. Criminal behaviour differs to deviant behaviour as a person can be deviant without committing a crime and vice versa, a person can be criminal without being deviant. For example, speeding is a criminal offense but is not considered abnormal or deviant behaviour as it is committed by the majority of people in society at some point. Likewise, if a man dresses as a woman in public they are considered to be deviating from society but are not breaking any laws and therefore are not criminal. This means that behaviour can be legal, without necessarily being acceptable in society. However, what is considered acceptable in society can change overtime as well as the removal and creation of certain laws. For example, over 50 years ago, homosexuality would have been stigmatised as well as illegal whereas nowadays it is legal and perfectly accepted by the majority in society although some homophobia does still exists. Social order is ‘the totality of structured human interrelationships in a society or a part of it.’ (Webster, 2015) These are the expectations of norms held by society that pressure people to behave in a certain way which keeps the peace within

These new views are also the result of the diverseness within the society itself, which consisted of Christians, deists, rationalists, moralists, and aristocrats (Ayers 27). This diverse cult resembles that of American society in that different groups of people come together to form a culture. Within the culture of Freemasonry, followers mutually believed that the cult “...offered a democratic and republican view of life, as opposed to the monarchy” (“Freemasonry and the American Revolution”). From this view, it can be implied that Freemasons exhibited rebellious behaviors towards monarchical governments. This implication is evidenced by James Davis Carter in his essay “Masonry in US History -- through 1846” stating,”Masonic groups have always conveyed that liberty is gained from the limitations of government”.

In Deviance and Social Control; Chapter five; We look into Social Disorganization Theories and how it is broken down in various ways. Social disorganization is a macro level theory. We examine our neighborhoods’, cities, countries, etc. The deviances are controlled deviance and crime, it gives us an explanation on how certain neighborhoods control deviance and how some are not able to eliminate it. We analyze how juvenile’s deviance in a mixture of cities, schools, and neighborhoods.

A “social institution” is defined as a group of individuals that live in a type of “organized arrangement” for the main purpose of obtaining a certain goal. The definition of “organized crime” is a group of individuals that get involved in illegal acts for the main purpose of making a profit. Many of these organized crime groups are centralized and operated on a local, national, and international level, and can be part of several nations (Shanty, 2007). How the Social Institution and Organized Crime are the Similar Organized crime and a social institution are similar due to the individuals involved in the criminal activities work in unison to gather as much benefit to the group as possible. Take some terrorist groups for example.

The reality is depicted in a litany of powerful, clever men, who misuse their abilities for their own personal ends - which are chiefly, the acquisition and maintenance of power. Their goal is public acclaim, cynically acquired through a popularity based on the

Social Institutions are groups of people who have come together for a common purpose. These institutions have formed a common bond. They have done research and have concluded by joining they can achieve more. Some of the social institutions in the local community are the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Cub Scouts, the Girl Scouts. There are generally five different types of social institutions. They are political, educational, religious, economic, and family. Each is filled with members of a common goal.
