How Limited Are Our Societies?

Though most of us would like to believe that our limited society is an international community, it is actually a highly exclusive one. The majority of people that live in the world are from one particular culture or another. If this is true of the United States of America, it is just as true of the residents of the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark.

Most countries have a limited society, but these countries are all essentially one nation with different races, cultures, and languages, and their own nation-states. In the US, we are known as the Anglo-Protestant, the non-Catholic and the Catholic-Protestant. These groups are not equivalent to the French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, Scottish, German, Japanese, or Swiss in the US, since they have different nations within them.

The non-English speaking countries, on the other hand, have a limited society as well. To some degree, their populations are ethnically or racially different from the US population. The UK is a country of great diversity, with a variety of cultures, races, and languages, so there is little overlap between the English and the French in the UK. There is also no common language for those who do not speak English.

However, the members of these limited societies live within their own nation, their own nation state, and they have a sort of social order and set of privileges and disadvantages. These countries have their own cultures, languages, and religions, but they share the same political and economic systems and social institutions as their neighbors to the south.

In these limited societies, there are essentially three main systems: a hierarchical system where those at the top may pass on their title and status to those below them; a non-hereditary position; and a mixed or simple type of social organization. The hierarchies are usually set up by men or by royal families and maintained through their successors, and are preserved through hereditary titles established by the family lines.

The system of feudalism was often used in England, and both knights and tenants had their position. The Royalty was either feudal lords or the royal family, which had their own system of rights and privileges. On the other hand, the landless peasants had no rights, no rights against the lords, and no rights as far as the rights of the nobility were concerned.

The elites or the nobles of a society are usually of the highest status, and these people were in charge of their kingdom. They often exercised power over the people and who they could marry, and were basically in charge of all the important aspects of their lives. However, this system of elite control only worked because the people of the society had respect for the nobility, and these people lived in a certain status symbol called the nobility.

When the people no longer had this status symbol, they would lose their power, and they would try to overturn the hierarchies or the monarchy, and were labeled by the words nobility or theolists' power. This came to be known as revolution, or the "state of emergency" that existed after the American Revolution.
