Abstract

The paper describes some of the factors that play a role in the process of social hierarchization within a society. I refer here not only to the instinctual and archetypal forces, but also to the less “psychological,” more “systemic” factors influencing this process, the factors associated with systems dynamics and describing patterns of self-organizing of those systems seen in a more “natural,” biological, or even physical way. In this last point I will refer to an example of the Pareto Law. The intention of the paper is not only to describe the dynamis of the hierarchization process, but also to support a postulate of social discussion of the hierarchy pattern chosen by the society.
