Most systems that claim to be self benificent tend to be self-serving, unethical, and conservative because no one likes to admit to having made a mistake.
For example the Government is here to protect us, and help the citizens of the United States in any circumstances. When the President failed to do his duty in helping the people of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina, the people realized that he wasn't doing his job. While people were dying he wasn't sending help until the 5th of 6th day after the storm. Aside from the President, his fellow colleagues did nothing to make the situation better in Louisiana either. The system is so corrupt that since the President wasn't doing anything this implied that the others in the White House shouldn't do anything to help the refugees in New Orleans. Like many people no one likes to be wrong, but here in these circumstances the Government was greatly critizized of mismanagement and lack of preparation in the relief effort in response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Specifically, there was a delayed response to the flooding of New Orleans. He didn't want to admit that he took a long time to send help. People became desperate in New Orleans and took things into their own hands. Many of the the stranded people left in their homes after the hurricane started to look for dry places to be safe. Lots of reports accused the citizens of New Orleans of stealing and robbing good, but how can you blame them? It took so long for relief that the citizens were desperate. Just like the parable of the Unforgiving Servant Jesus says to stop looking at the system of power for help because it will not help you, you need to look within and take matters into your own hands.
Systems aren't things at all. The core idea are that systems are a theory and idea that provide benefits, they have rules, they have authority to enforce these rules, they also provide security, and with the faults in humans ignorance is the fault of the system itself. We can not take the position to blame the people that are in the system because they screw up but blame the system. The system is a theory it isn't real but the idea is what is real. The people part of the system comply with what the system asks them to do. The system sets everyone up to fight against each other to be on the top. The system is what makes people turn on each other because it gives an ultimatum. You can either be high or be low on the system and everyone will choose high. Now of course there are those few that will not comply with the system but for the most part they will. The theory of the system is what people live by and this is why the system is corrupt. It brings out the bad in people and works off of that because there is the need for authority and people fight and push people down to get up to that authoritative position so they themselves will not be the ones to be pushed down.
