AbstractMarx holds that capitalism is exploitative, but not unjust. Kant crafted a theory of right that explains why human beings are treated unjustly when the social system deprives them of the conditions of a free life. This essay attempts to relate Kant’s and Marx’s views to one another and to the capitalist social system, which these two thinkers studied at different stages of development. The economic and social theories of Fichte and Hegel are also employed to help make sense of the points of agreement and of disagreement between Kant and Marx concerning the ways modern capitalism deprives workers of freedom and whether this deprivation should be condemned as unjust.

Confucians in East Asia have always dreamed of holding human communities together and constructing well-functioning polities in and through the binding and harmonizing power of rituals. Underlying their trust in the power of rituals is the notion that rituals constitute symbolic articulation and enchancement of our affective responses to the conditions of embodied relationality and historicity in which we always already find ourselves. This Confucian theory of rituals resonates with Whitehead’s theory of symbolism, insofar as the latter advances a primordially relational ontology of the subject by highlighting the hitherto neglected epistemological notion of perception in the mode of causal efficacy. As such, the Confucian theory of rituals offers a fresh cross-cultural perspective to understand Whitehead’s implied critique of the modern liberal social theories that are based on a view of human beings as atomized individuals who rationally consent to enter society.

The Prophet's missionary journey as an arena for building a humanitarian system that is mutually acceptable and recognizes the values ​​of human equality in the social system is still a deviation, even though life must embrace one another, accept unconditionally and respect human values. Acceptance of fellow humans seems to have become a deviation and even becomes collective amnesia in social life. This collective amnesia is present in human life without realizing that we live in it so that acceptance in the name of the man as a form of hablumminannas is like the construction of a mere imaginary society. The construction of imaginary societies has occurred in Medina as a social institution on the journey of prophetic preaching. Such things occur as a process of living systems; a process of establishing his identity as a social system in building the ideal society that has ever existed on this earth. The Madinah community is a society based on a collective agreement stated in a charter, commonly known as the charter of Medina. Relations between groups are built based on the breath of acceptance among others, because of the awareness of the similarity of the nature and dignity of human beings. Why Medina is referred to as a normal social system identity, not because of the intersubjectivity; acceptability of humans and humans built from all components of the social system is always in communication and mutual action.

Opening ParagraphIn this paper I consider some Lugbara notions about witches, ghosts, and other agents who bring sickness to human beings. I do not discuss the relationship of these notions, and the behaviour associated with them, to the social structure. The two aspects, ideological and structural, are intimately connected, but it is possible to discuss them separately: on the one hand, to present the ideology as a system consistent within itself and, on the other, to show the way in which it is part of the total social system. Here I attempt only the former.

This paper sought to identify why Antony Gednaz formulated the theory of constructional collection and the relationship with major theories (structural-functional, Marxism) and minor theories (symbolic interactive) through contrasting and comparing them as well as the comparison between the concept of social symmetry in the verb theory by Parsons and the constructional collection by Gednaz. The paper tried to identify the most important concepts and principles of the constructional collection theory, through a review of the literature in the books of social theories. The paper also included the critical vision of the (female) researcher about the constructional collection theory. The paper concluded that (Antony Gednaz) formulated the constructional collection theory to fill the outstanding gap between structure and action in both major and minor theories and that Gednaz opposes the idea of studying societies based on construction in major theories, and the idea of relying on the action as a unit of study societies in minor theories. He believes that the principal area to study societies is the social practices regulated through time and place. For a social system, Parsons views the system as a group of individual actors, ignoring spatial and temporal conditions that may affect the actions of individuals, while Gednaz sees the system as the sum of acts that are reproduced among the actors in a given place and time. The concept of the constructional collection is the main concept in the collection theory, which means that the collection of actors and buildings are not independent phenomena (i.e. dual), but they represent duplication. In the critical review of the (female) researcher is taken on the central idea of the constructional collection theory that it is not possible to generalize the possibility of reproducing construction. The generalization may be become possible in case replacing the idea of "reproducing construction" by the idea of "modifying construction or parts of construction" or determining what kind of buildings can be reproduced or not. The (female) researcher fully agrees with the idea that the verb produces the structure and after it forms the structure, the structure becomes an intermediary.

The concept of sustainable development arises from a global perspective of seeing survival, progress, and the continued, improved life of human beings and their society. Sustainable development entails all processes of fundamental change in the social system and institutions. All businesses need to grow and be profitable. Companies in the public and government sectors are developing sustainable methods of manufacturing process and market development strategies. Corporate Social Responsibility, or Corporate Sustainability, has a crucial social component as companies think of profiting and ways and means to protect the environment. Sustainable innovators create new products and services designed to solve the problems created by the impact of economic growth, increasing population, and diminishing natural resources. The new awareness of global warming is set and there are efforts from the entire earth to address this challenge.
