“The INSTITUTIONS that organize our society communicate widely endorsed social view by the values they uphold. For example, our JUDICIAL SYSTEM reminds us that, as a society, we value laws and punish those who break them. In Western Culture, the INSTITUSION OF MARRIAGE communicates society’s view that , when people marry, they become a single unit, which is why joint ownership of property is assumed for married couples. Our Institutions inevitably reflect prevailing social prejudices. For instance, we may be a lawful society, but wealthy defendants often can BUY better “JUSTICE” than poor ones can. These and other values are woven into the fabric of our culture, and we learn them with little effort or awareness.” – ICEE
