working within the system flawed 2
The System can take on many forms, shapes and characteristics. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary gives many different definitions; the one most applicable is as follows: “(sometimes initial capital letter
) the prevailing structure or organization of society, business, or politics or of society in general; establishment (usually prec. by the): to work within the system instead of trying to change it.”[1] In this case, society is the System, the church is the System, the status quo is the System, the military is the System, and consumerism is the System to name a few. All of these systems work within the framework of each other system. All systems are affected by all other systems.
