You really question whether there are "private institutions"? No, I asked you to name some. That will help us continue. How about this: rather than naming some, how would you define a private institution? You just named a bunch of them in the beginning of your post: marriage, faith, commerce, education. No, I didn't. Those are social institutions, and I said as much in my post. Message 19817570 I can't teach you if you refuse to learn. Or are you rakishly suggesting that social institutions and private institutions are indicative of the same types of entities? There are public schools (public institutions) and private schools (private institutions)... There, you have it correct. So far, so good. ...family (private social institution) vs. say the DMV (a public social institution that regulates drivers). A family is a social institution, and it may or may not be treated as private in terms of how it handles its personal affairs, but it is not a private institution. More laughable is your suggestion that the DMV is social in any way. Yes, it is a public institution, and you may "social[ize]" when you're there, but it is not a social institution. In fact, that gets to the heart of the matter. However - before we continue - your definition of a private institution will undoubtedly prove instructional. LPS5
