Georg Simmel Georg Simmel (Berlin, 1858-Strasbourg, 1918)" On individuality and social forms "analyzes the domination as a form of interaction. 'Nobody, in general, historical Wish That Influence completely determine the Other individual. He Wants His Influence Rather, this determination of the Other, to act back upon him. Even the abstract will-to-Dominate, Therefore, it is a case of interaction. " German philosopher and sociologist understand the phenomenon of dominance in a plane not unilateral where two wills involved in a reciprocal relationship.
'Power conceals an interaction, an exchange. . . . Which transforms the pure one-sidedness of superordination and subordination Sociological Into a form. " This view breaks the logical essence of the gross vision of absolute power they possess as a others are subjugated.Thus, the actions taken by the superior can not be understood separately from those performed by the subordinate and vice versa. Ie there is a clear interaction where one action can be analyzed in reference to the other.
Given that far dominated the passive role of participation where there is clear both parties are players required, it is commendable to question how far it is true that speech that argues the impossibility of reversing profound inequalities. In this sense, each subject gives consent to time to play the role of 'dominated'. Everyday life is traversed by multiple relationships that condition the individual so as to be framed under certain cultural patterns that provide the how, when and where to act. What is the degree of freedom in a society pre stipulated functional human stereotypes? The parameters of social behavior that are tacitly, modeled daily subjects. Expected actions and reactions of other open space to me to wonder where has been freedom of choice when it comes to relationships of domination. The notion of compliance is linked to the sacrifice they are willing to perform, to pay that price implies a state of freedom.
'Even in the oppressive and cruel marry MOST of subordination, There is still a considerable Meaning of personal freedom. We Do Not Merely Became aware of it, Because STI manifestation Sacrifices Which Would entail Usually we never think of Taking upon ourselves. Actually, the "absolute" coercion Which Even The Most cruel tyrant imposer Distinctly upon us is always relative. Its condition is our desire to escape from punishment or from the Threatened Other Consequences of Our disobedience '.
dominance occurs in all spheres of everyday life. The political system in particular betrays reciprocal interactions between leaders-led, who holds power and who are mired at the same. In one umbrella which hosts all the main guest is consent. Foist blame on others is clearer action comfort declared that postulates no possible reversal of the parts in the play.
is time to drop the bands of our eyes. Time to leave the shell of victims and the responsibilities that you are fit to each. Checks are not endorsed for my next, my neighbor. Are bearer. Changing behavior part of ourselves. In the relations of domination are participants required, no third omniscient.
