Is human society really seperated into sheep, sheepdogs & wolves?

Question

Meaning the vast majority of the population remains willfully ignorant, and submit to authority, while the small minority of people are sheepdogs who realised everyone else are sheep and take on the role of working to protect them? While the even smaller minority of people are wolves who exploit this human weakness? Is this more true to today, or to the past?

Answer 1

Humans were never knowledgeable at all, the nature of humans is ignorant and this is no rage or anger from my side but a simple truth. Humans are although more intelligent than the other living beings but they are at the same time equally destructive.



If we say humans live in a developed world it doesn't mean that humans are wise, they are only intellectually and technologically clever, humans can excel in the world created by their own selves still they cannot get rid of the problems.



Animals and other life forms are much peaceful and easy than humans.



WITHOUT QUESTIONING Most of the people have automatically accepted that humans are intelligent, wise and are doing something right.. in finding the reality of life humans have shown the signs of only stupidity and nothing else.



I woke up only to see that the whole world was still asleep.- Leonardo Da Vinci



He means that when he saw humans with his deep insight gained through his own experience, he came to know that all humans are is ignorant and nothing much.

Answer 3

Sheepdogs And Wolves

Answer 4

Our world of 7 billion people is not grouped into just 3 types. Human society is more like the whole animal kingdom - sheep, sheepdogs, wolves, lions, hyenas, gorillas, snakes, pythons, hares, tortoises, sharks, dolphins, eagles, vultures, and so on.



Several factors are important in human society to shape human behavior, national activities and international order. some of these factors are - socio-political-financial system, principles on which the government operates, dominant religion, competitive advantage or disadvantage, level of education and literacy.



Let's take a few countries to see how individuals operate in various societies. United States came into being because of its fight against the British government. The US Constitution places a heavy importance on freedom. That is why it is paralyzed by the Democrats v Republicans paralysis. It has problem with gun control because it gives its citizens the right to carry arms against potential government abuse. So the sheep-sheepdogs-wolves concept revolve around these factors and generate more categories of people.



Philippines is predominantly Roman Catholic country. So the church has tremendous influence on how most citizens of Philippines behave. It has one of the fastest growing population in the world. Because of that, its problem is over-population, poverty, human trafficking, prostitution which complicates the sheep-sheepdogs, wolves concept.

Answer 5

The Rich are Wolves in sheep's clothing and the Government are Wolves posing as sheepdogs. Those of us who are sheepdogs do protect Sheep from the Wolves and do not expect reward for it. but a better life altogether.

Answer 6

we were not a society when we first started our journey. Early societies were simple the ruling clans and there followers but now a days the society is more structured thus more and more truth is concealed and the organizations are becoming more secretive than ever, so in my case the general classification of sheep,sheepdogs and wolves is not right as in contemporary times there is no particular identity but multiple dissociative ones.

Answer 7

I find that a very patronising view. Human society is made up of individuals, all of whom perform multiple roles at any one time, and whose roles will change throughout their life. All of these individuals also have different values, which determine their motivations and both affect the kind of roles they undertake and are affected by the roles they are currently in. Society is made up of the interaction of all those individual value systems, cooperating, competing and operating in parallel. They don't split into three easy categories.



As a rule, any categorical system which involves any one group being superior or inferior to the others is not to be trusted, in my view.

Answer 8

I like Shakespeare's analogy better:



"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,"



Even cops and can play the role of sheep, wolf and sheepdog simultaneously, in their public and private life.



There are many, many roles that people play, beyond those 3.
