In a bureaucracy, the officer does not take notice of deprived sectors of society, only his own interests. Often the officer himself belongs to the same social class. A bureaucrat has no interest in the progress of work; his entire attention is focused on obtaining promotion and strengthening his position in his workplace and ensuring he scores credits with his supervisors. This is why bureaucrats do not pay respect towards the improvement of public services. A bureaucrat does his best to gain superiority over others and takes decisions single-handedly to avoid criticism. This is why bureaucrats aim to be in complete control of all situations. Bureaucrats also avoid accepting any responsibilities so that they are not answerable to any mistakes made by supporting old-style management. At some stage in historical developments, certain policies need updating, but bureaucracy still regards the old and outdated values as suiting them better; therefore, they do their best to uphold and validate such values in the system. At times, some laws for whatever reason seem acceptable, but bureaucrats try to expand on these laws in ways that suit them best. In this way, relationships that would gradually be phased out in the process of historical developments gain more footing within the political structure and behave as though they are immortal and irremovable laws.
