As the world grows and changes, society becomes more and more integrated. It is undoubtedly a more connected world. Division still occurs at smaller levels, particularly between classes and ethnicities. Social classes and ethnicities play specific divisive roles. Understanding what these roles are, as well as how and why they form, can contribute to a better understanding of these groups. Despite debates over immigration, it remains true that there are myriad ethnic groups in the United States. These groups develop their own communities, services and organizations specific to their ethnicity. One example is the existence of Chinatowns, which can be found in many large cities.

Imposing taxes and recruiting men for war are extremely onerous responsibilities and should be treated as such. The power and authority that comes with political leadership is an important responsibility. This cannot be taken lightly. Even a leader must be able to lead his people in all necessary functions. Obtaining power and authority opens the door to corruption. It is therefore important that those in power are fair and objective. It is when these positions are not well managed that corruption appears. This is why understanding political organizations at all levels is crucial for the proper functioning of a society...
