Different perspective of Freedom-----market economy vs social stability

To PM:

[Social and Political philosophy not only seeks to set up ideal standards for society and government but also undertakes a cirtical examination of the existing social and political institution]

It is through articulation of diverse opinions that the truth would be finally discovered. Social Philosophy and Political Philosophy are crucial for maintaining smooth functioning and upgradation of of institutions like family,friends,group,political parties, pressure groups respectively.

Main function of these philosophy could be understood by a case study; let’s take an imaginary case study:"PROJECT D"

objective of project D: empowering those who needs the same.

Premis: There is a village where lives a rich and prosperous man, A,  who belongs to culturally beckward caste. Now lets see another character , mr. K, he the leader, though uneducated and poor, orthodox in belief, of his village panchayat, call it khaap panchayat.

Now in above case some people may be of openion of empowering mr. A as he is socially backward and is not acceptable as a part of his society. But on the other hand some people may be of the opinion that Mr.A is financially sound so he can go some where else or may be by empowering(making different favourable laws) Mr.K could change the situation, he could get access to modern thought and ultimately solving the dilema of Mr.A.

Here both the opinions have good intention but both are polar opposite in their approach.

Solution:

Social and Political Philosophy is needed in such situation to rescue the fabrics of society.

Their works are:

1)clarification of concept ii) Determination of norms.

conflicts arises because of different interpretation or vague understanding of technical terms, in this case empowerment that is sharing pie of power to the needy.

So what is POWER ?

Power denotes an access to such PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, LEGAL or PSHYCHOLOGICAL means which enables a person, group or organisation to fulfill its purpose or mould others' behaviour in order to fulfil its own design.

If you will observe "economic" situation has nothing to do with power, it may happpen that economic power may give acces to physical or legal means to experience POWER but mere economic status has nothing to do it. Its state duty to provied equall accest to resources to raise ones own economic status and not by empowering poors. One dying poor is ones' own responsiblity and not the states'.

having said that it is clear in our example that MR. A should be empowered and MR.K's attitude be discouraged to the extent that a atmosphere is created which would influence in coming generations' of Mr K to follow Mr A's devleopment path.
