Social order

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The social order generally refers to the basic characteristics of a society according to its economic form (e.g. capitalism , socialism , feudalism ), its social structure (e.g. social stratification , class society , class order ) as well as its religious or ideological orientation (e.g. civil society , fascism , anarchism ).

General

The compound “social order” is made up of “society” and “order” or “system”. Society is understood to be a totality of people who are in contact with one another through a network of relationships and whose coexistence can be explained in particular through peculiar social actions. The regulatory and organizational framework that such a society gives itself is called the social order . It follows that the term social order refers to all types of relationships within a society, i.e. its legal, economic, religious or ethical relationships.

Germany

The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (GG) does not contain any regulations for a specific social order, but is limited to the normative design of the state constitution. There is no constitutional commitment to a certain socio-political model, the relationship between society and the state remains open. The Basic Law is therefore socio-politically neutral. Article 20.1 of the Basic Law only defines the global direction by standardizing the Federal Republic as a democratic and social federal state . The influence on the social order can therefore only consist in the commitment to a democratic organization. The Basic Law is based on a social order that focuses on the dignity and freedom of the individual. According to a judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court of June 1995, the free social order of the Federal Republic is based on the assumption of legal freedom and equality of all citizens, which is self-evident for the modern state .
