<P> The income tax office is an example of an organization that is actively maintained by the enactment of laws and the formation of an office for procuring taxes . Without active governmental support, this organization would disappear, as it does not enjoy universal public support . On the other hand, the institution of marriage is universally accepted, and would persist even if governments withdrew regulations that demand registration of marriage and impose age restrictions . The institution of marriage is sustained by the weight of tradition, not by government agencies and legal enactments . </P> <P> Families play a major role in the propagation of new activities once they win the support of the society . A family is a miniature version of the larger society--acceptance by the larger entity is reflected in the smaller entity . The family educates the younger generation and transmits social values like self - restraint, responsibility, skills, and occupational training . Though children do not follow their parents' footsteps as much as they once did, parents still mold their children's attitudes and thoughts regarding careers and future occupations . When families propagate a new activity, it signals that the new activity has become an integral part of the society . </P> <P> One of the most powerful means of propagating and sustaining new developments is the educational system in a society . Education transmits society's collective knowledge from one generation to the next . It equips each new generation to face future opportunities and challenges with knowledge gathered from the past . It shows the young generation the opportunities ahead for them, and thereby raises their aspiration to achieve more . Information imparted by education raises the level of expectations of youth, as well as aspirations for higher income . It also equips youth with the mental capacity to devise ways and means to improve productivity and enhance living standards . </P> <P> Society can be conceived as a complex fabric that consists of interrelated activities, systems, and organizations . Development occurs when this complex fabric improves its own organization . That organizational improvement can take place simultaneously in several dimensions . </P>
