Politics

There is a strong link between politics and economy of any society. The interconnection of politics and economy is also expressed in the fact that the summarized economic relations and ties, direct integrated economic interest are embodied in such phenomena as economic, industrial, agricultural, scientific, technical, structural, financial, credit, investment, information, foreign trade and other varieties (types) of policies.

The influence of the economy on the political system is obvious, because it is its material component. Any political ideology cannot exist separately without any financial basis; it needs a reliable production basis.

The economy of any country and in any industry, segment always tries as much as possible to adjust, take into account and satisfy the economic needs of citizens.

The active role of politics in relation to society as a whole and its economic structures is manifested primarily in the exercise of its functions of managing the general affairs of the state, ensuring the priorities of socio-economic development, the stability of social and economic systems; strengthening law and order. when a crisis occurs in a country due to a decline in production and a lack of financial resources, the government should pursue an active policy aimed at attracting foreign investors.

Politics is a very intricate part of ​​human relations. One of its most significant tasks is the organization of society, as the benefits of many social actors. These benefits are often jointly select.

Today, in the modern world, information is for political phenomena the same basic property as matter and energy. As a result of the presence or absence of proper information, the subject can gain or lose power, the possibility of influence, the realization of his interests in the political sphere. Thus, obtaining proper information becomes the specific goal of any actors acting in politics and interested in influencing the government. Information is a mechanism that provides targeted action by subjects, and its accumulation allows for the correction of the behavior of subjects and institutions of power

Marriage and Family

economic point of view, marriage (or, more generally, living in pairs) can be considered as a partnership aimed at achieving both consumptive consumption and production. The most important and universally recognized of these productions is, of course, the giving birth and the education of the children. But we can advance three other advantages related to the life in couple.

The perspective adopted in the economic theory of marriage, which applies moreover to the setting in couple that the institution of marriage itself is the same as in economic theory in general: decisions on marriage and divorce are those taken by rational individuals who will adopt, in a "market" of marriage, a behavior similar to the one they have on the job market, for example. No economist claims, of course, that the economic aspects are the only ones or even the main elements involved in the marriage market..

Among the vast majority of philosophers, sociologists, and even ethnologists, not to mention people far from any science, there is a perception that marriage is between individuals and the family, i.e. a group of men, women and their children has always existed. Many of them claim that the existence of this kind of marriage and this kind of family is due to the biology of human reproduction and that these institutions are inherited from its animal ancestors. A family is a small group based on marriage and / or consanguinity, whose members are united by living together and housekeeping, emotional bond, mutual responsibilities in relation to each other.

Also, a family is a social institution, i.e. a stable form of relationships between people, within which the bulk of people's daily lives

Technology may affect family and marriage. Rate of divorce is increasing . another new concept of virtual relations came up with technology.

Religion

According to Max weber, observed the connection among religion and economics. He found that Protestants had the best economic success. In history, there are only a few examples of the positive influence of religion on the economy. One of them is connected with the influence of Protestant ethics on the formation of capitalism. In the Ecology of Morality". It has already been said that one of the main tasks of human society is to restrain the aggressiveness of its individuals.

A religious system with political, legal and other systems forms a “superstructure”, which is determined by the economic system and has the opposite effect on the economic basis. The religious system performs an ideological function, representing the interests of the ruling classes as a universal interest and thereby protecting the system based on the exploitation of man.

Religion acts as one of the types of association and activities of people along with such communities as national, scientific and economic (in the form of transnational corporations), regional, etc., each of which can facilitate or inhibit the development of society.

Kant (1724–1804) was one of the first thinkers of the new time who justified the possibility of considering religion from the standpoint of scientific thinking, reckoning only with the essence of the matter and logic, not referring to theology: the mind has more powerful arguments than those available church doctrine and scripture.

Education

Education as a reproduction of culture could not help but form as a definite system, within which different subsystems differentiate (depending on the age of students, learning objectives, attitudes towards the church, and the state)..

First of all, we emphasize that education as a social institution is a complex system that includes various elements and the relationships between them: subsystems, management, organization, personnel, etc

The connection between education and culture is the strongest, the earliest stages of the formation of the institution of education are connected with a cult, a ritual: culture required constant reproduction. One of the basic principles of the existence and development of education is “cultural identity”.

The concept of “education” is a universal, holistic, multifunctional and polysynaptic category. However, despite the difference in approaches to the interpretation of the concept of education, it contains something universal, unified and existent.

Part 2: Summary

Instructions: Write a 100-150-word summary of your matrix. Cite one to two resources you used to complete the matrix.

Politics, marriage, education and religion are pillars of society. In the modern sociology of religion, and political concepts of the evolution of religion as a two-pronged process are developed - the impact of religion on society and the development of religion itself under the influence of social factors, changes in society in the course of historical development. But even in the area of marriage and divorce, the contributions of economists are far from negligible and have been integrated, not only in other disciplinary fields, such as sociology, but also in aspects of daily life, like court decisions on divorce.Education is another important aspect that need to be consider when talking about pillars of society.
