SOCIAL CONTROL

 We remember from our childhood days how our parents urged us to eat with our right hand , to respect our elders and our teachers , to be punctual and to help the needy . Subsequently , we learn that we should drive on the left side of the road and to obey the laws of the land . Still later , we are made aware about responsibilities towards aging parents , towards children and professional responsibilities that come with one's job .

 It is clear that our behaviour is regulated by family , by prevalent customs and traditions , by society and by the state , too . The notion that unrestrained freedom will lead to anarchy and a demise of social order . Therefore , it is considered imperative for any society to maintain order and progress .
