No point in copying the test, y'all have seen it enough. If you look at
the society from above, you could see it in terms of government and classes,
or you could see it in terms of lifeworld and system (system would include
business with gov't), or you
could see it in terms of demographic characteristics: age groups, racial
groups, ethnic groups, married/unmarried/divorced groups, regions, etc.......
No matter which way you look at it, the critical variable is the relationship
between big business and the state. The Gulf War was a good example of an
intervention made by the state for big business interests, which reduced the
people including the members of the armed forces to mere pawns. Since WW2,
all military conflicts were won by the US military but we have yet to win any
of them politically, why? Because the big business interests needs the
competition from stalemates to profit.
