 The True Clash of Civilizations - Globalization - Global Policy Forum
A society’s commitment to gender equality and sexual liberalization proves time and again to be the most reliable indicator of how strongly that society supports principles of tolerance and egalitarianism.
These issues are part of a broader syndrome of tolerance, trust, political activism, and emphasis on individual autonomy that constitutes “self-expression values.” The extent to which a society emphasizes these self-expression values has a surprisingly strong bearing on the emergence and survival of democratic institutions.
This pattern suggests that the younger generations in Western societies have become progressively more egalitarian than their elders, but the younger generations in Muslim societies have remained almost as traditional as their parents and grandparents, producing an expanding cultural gap.

  Conformity and Deviance
These norms may differ a great deal from one society and one historical period to another, but in any case they result in dividing people into two groups: those who conform to the norms, i.e., the "normal" persons, and those who deviate from the norms, i.e., the "abnormal" persons or "deviants".
In such "permissive" societies the sexual standards are broad and flexible enough to accommodate a great many personal peculiarities, and thus both heterosexual and homosexual males, orgasmic and nonorgasmic females are considered well within the range of normality.
Societies do not like to admit that it is, in fact, nothing more than the control of one group of people by another.

  QUESTION 1
The activities of societies were brought within the control of a government official called the Certifying Barrister, whose main aim was to register the societies and confirm that their Rules were ‘wholesome and proper’.
They basically confined societies to what was perceived to be their only function - that of raising retail funds and making advances to members for house purchase.
The Building Society Investor Protection Board may decide not to make a payment either in full or in part to the investor in a failed society when it is felt that the person had contributed in some way to the insolvency, such as anyone from the society’s demise or directors of the insolvent society itself.

 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 10 Mar 1997 (pt 22)
Preventing societies from developing their full potential and preventing customers from getting the friendly and efficient service in the wide range of retail financial services that they have come to expect from savings and mortgages does not make sense in 1997.
Societies have a proven track record for prudence and performance, and should be allowed to use their financial experience and expertise to compete with other institutions to provide people with the services that they want.
Societies will not be permitted to trade in commodities or currencies or to be market makers in securities for transactions over £100,000.

 Proposals for an Effective International Campaign Against Traffic in Drugs
Society, on the other hand, should educate children and adults, through the educational system, the media of mass communication, and religious institutions, about the dangerous consequences of illicit drug use and addiction.
Societies with more permissive and lenient attitudes toward the use of alcohol and drugs have a higher prevalence of addiction to these substances.
When both internal and external controls fail to develop, a sense of permissiveness will prevail in society, the result of which will be easy availability of alcohol and drugs and a rise in the scale of drug addiction.

 Progressive Muslim Union: Tariq Ramadan's Call for an End to Capital Punishment Entirely
Muslim majority societies and Muslims around the world are constantly confronted with the fundamental question of how to implement the penalties prescribed in the Islamic penal code.
In fact, it is not rare to hear Muslim women and men (educated or not, and more often of modest means) calling for a formal and strict application of the penal code (in their mind, the sharî’a) of which they themselves will often be the first victims.
Societies will never reform themselves by repressive measures and punishment but more so by the engagement of each to establish civil society and the respect of popular will as well as a just legislation guaranteeing the equality of women and men, poor and rich before the law.

 The Catholic Legate | Articles
Thus the failure of sexually permissive societies is neither political, social, nor ideological.
However, in such instances where the natural law has been breached by certain destructive movements within society, it is permissible and even obligatory for the Church to call for the government to suppress such movements.
Consequently to deny man the free exercise of religion in society, when the just requirements of public order are observed, is to do an injustice to the human person and to the very order established by God for men.

In poor societies, the father of a girl soon discovers that if a man is attracted to his daughter, this person will want to possess her at the lowest cost possible.
In societies where honour crimes are punishable as murder, throwing one's daughter out is more of a valid option and it is done only when she becomes pregnant.
Furthermore, in societies where honour crimes are punished lightly, the popular option is to kill the female because the cost is reasonably low relative to the prolonged burden, as is the case in Jordan.

 Infant and Child Sexuality: A Sociological Perspective
Permissiveness in some, but certainly not all, contemporary communes and group marriages is extended to include infants and children as observers of and participants in erotic activities of family members.
They reason that human societies which are characterized by enrichment or impoverishment of the stimulation that comes from touch during the formative years of development would result in predominantly peaceful or violent adult behavior.
When both early (infant) and later (adolescent) affectional permissiveness or the lack of it were considered together, it was possible to accurately predict adult interpersonal behavior in forty-seven of the forty-nine societies studied.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Permissive nicotine regulation as a complement to traditional tobacco control
Similarly permissive regulation of cigarettes and addictive nicotine products will reduce tobacco use and improve smokers' health, but increase nicotine use in the population.
However, a litany of centuries-old problems with prohibition provides a strong argument for permissive nicotine regulation as an alternative or essential prerequisite to prohibition.
In permissive nicotine regulation, the FDA's missing indication is to improve nicotine addicts' safety.

 FEBS Abstract
A replisome approaching from the permissive face of the Tus-Ter complex can continue its progress, apparently by displacing Tus, whereas a replisome approaching from the non-permissive face is arrested [1].
From these data, we propose a third model: the progress of the replisome generates structures in the DNA to which Tus binds more weakly or tightly depending on whether approach is from the permissive or the non-permissive face.
In particular, the data are consistent with a new mechanism for fork arrest whereby strand separation by the helicase at the non-permissive face leads to flipping of a specific base out of the Ter DNA duplex into a pocket in the surface of Tus, to form a tighter-binding ’locked’ structure.

 Decriminalising Abortion
No. By omission the law would be condoning the taking of the life of the most defenceless human in our society, and thereby place itself far away from natural justice and its basic principle, "that all human life is inherently valuable and must be protected by law".
Society exists to preserve itself and its individual members.
Pro-life people believe that abortion should not be decriminalised I because women deserve that the society in which they live would help them to examine and resolve their real problems.

 The Sexually Oppressed
Actually, in recent times drugs and sex have also begun to be feared by many formerly permissive societies which have been subject to Western influence.
Thus, solitary masturbation, sex play among children, adolescent sexual experiments, premarital and noncoital forms of marital intercourse, homosexual activity, sexual contact with animals, sex after the menopause—all of these and many other harmless forms of sexual behavior come to be seen as heretical practices which have to be suppressed.

My impression is that an 'enlightened' society balances both dynamics in an essentially doaist-confucian way, and that in history we see repeated oscillations betweeen unbalanced extremes unless the society, and its leadership, is wise and experienced enough to maintain authentic (versus forced) stability, doing which latter is the prime mission of the leadership.
