society

i believe society is made up by the role's complicit within it and who are allowed to preform these roles. all social institutions and structures are formed because of someone holding a subordinate role and superordinate role...in our society and the world today and threw history their has been many movements trying to change the ideology's behind how roles are preformed...Paulo Freire explains in his book pedagogy of the oppressed that the oppressed to be liberated need to engage in a sort of dialogue they must be at the forefront of the art of liberation but he also says that the oppressor must realize his similarity to those who are oppressed for true change to emerge...this identity of oppressed and oppressor is shown within roles that are played in society even though Freire in his book gives an example of student-teacher it doesn't stop at things like child-parent he sets up this metaphor that criticizes the framework in witch society is set...the metaphor is seen in politics movements like occupy wall street have arisen in direct opposition to capitalism within america they are attacking the foundation in witch roles are set...even though the movement isn't clear with their motives a role change is pertinent within their needs/wants they would love for the 1% and 99% not to switch places but to become complicit with oppression that capitalism causes not only to us but around the world...that is just one example of how role effect society on a level of universality and globalization because capitalism is every were not saying that is the only "ism" that causes violence but it is something that people around the world critic and try to "break down" and most of the demand/needs of the people who do it are based on role performance  within the social institutions and structures that continue complicity with a system that may or may not cause harm to people...
