1. open society

   An open society is a type of society characterized by a flexible structure, freedom of belief, and a wide dissemination of information. The concept is based on the recognition that people act on incomplete knowledge and that no one has absolute truth. Within an open society, change can occur without violent upheaval. The government in such societies operates in a transparent and accountable manner, upholding values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, which enables active participation from its citizens in decision-making processes. It respects diversity and individual rights, promotes social mobility, and advocates for free markets and trade.

1. Open society

   The open society is a concept originally suggested in 1932 by the French philosopher Henri Bergson, and developed during World War Two by Austrian and British philosopher Karl Popper. Popper saw the open society as standing on a historical continuum reaching from the organic, tribal or closed society, through the open society marked by a critical attitude to tradition, up to the abstract or depersonalised society lacking all face-to-face transactions. For its advocates, government in the open society is purported to be responsive and tolerant, and political mechanisms are said to be transparent and flexible.
