The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality.

A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature. – Octavio Paz	added by anonymous 10 years ago

Plainly, the answer is no. – Marquis de Sade	added by anonymous 10 years ago

The socioeconomic well-being theory explains that when the members of a sociopolitical system share the same economic interests and the existing system produces enough economic opportunities to meet the needs of the members, they are likely to tolerate existing differences and work together towards shared benefits. On the other hand, when the system fails to produce enough economic opportunities over a long period of time, the members of the system are likely to compete more aggressively for existing resources, causing divisions among the members to grow stronger. The degree of social cohesiveness will diminish and divisions could take different forms such as ethnic, religious and geographic conflicts and at times class warfare or civil wars. If not managed properly, such sociopolitical systems can become dysfunctional. If the dysfunction is left untreated, at a certain point it will take more energy to fix the system than to let it collapse. – Med Jones	added by seattle29 13 years ago
