One must be aware and vigilant in the education of developing youth as a 'two edged sword.' The teaching and training of youth can be motivated and gained control of by those with selfish interests, as well as those with unselfish hearts. An evil monopoly of the education of a society's youth can be every bit as dangerous to future freedom as any political party or parties(political gangs), and malevolent ideologies regarding monopolistic control of either or both government and economy. It is in fact essential for a lasting long term tyranny. An example of the gradual ideological change that came about through control of education in the United States follows:1910The origin of government grew out of the family. Family of some sort has always existed with man for the purpose of rearing and protecting the young. The family protected its members. Its leaders, commonly the fathers, had more or less absolute charge as the dangers of attack by enemies made necessary. Then families began to band together into tribes and family tribes eventually grew into government organization. Today, government is the political organization which a group of people establish and maintain for carrying on certain work which they believe can best be done by collective action. The government includes all constitutions, laws, and customs that are binding on the people. They remain permanently, with only gradual modification, while the officials hold their positions for only limited periods. Officials come and go; they put on and take off authority like a garment: but the government remains. Flick & Smith,...1910 text book1937The word 'government' has two different meanings. (1) A government is an organization; that is, it is made up of the chief actors in the performance of governing---a select group of citizens who serve us by making and executing the laws necessary for the good order and happiness of the community, state, or nation, and who do for us many things which our common interests require to be done but which we cannot do acting singly as individuals. (2) The word 'government' also means the 'art' or 'business' by which our common political affairs are managed. Thus we speak of the "science of government."Garner & Capen,...1937 text book1977Government is the focus of political interaction because it makes and enforces many of the rules in modern society. Politics deals with who governs and how. In pungent language, politics involves three questions: "Who gets what, when, and how?" More elegantly, we can say that politics is concerned with "The Authorization Processes That Determine The Goals Of A Society, Mobilize Its Resources To Achieve These Goals, And Distribute Rights, Duties, Costs, Benefits, Rewards, And Punishments Among Members Of That Society. It is the feeling of obligation to abide by the law that confers what is called 'legitimacy' on government action. But should moral obligation fail, public officials have force---the police, National guard, or even the army---- to ensure by brute power that a policy will be carried out.Carr & Bernstein,...1977 text book (this last one is truly an eye opener...since 1977 youth in many schools within the United States have been taught to think 'authoritarianism to be natural and expected' ---just as under the societies and regimes of both Hitler and Stalin)
