results.

perspective enjoins
us to see the
coordinates of our
social maps- our
biography and
society’s history and
their intersections –
and from there chart
more feasible routes

Perspective
the society is seen as a
complex system whose
parts function and work in
harmony, bringing stability
in the process (Parts of the
society: family, school,
economy, or state)
