LAW AND ORDER IN PRIMITIVE SOCIETIES

Summary/Abstract: Primitive human is an exemplary citizen who completely respects the rules of his/her own community and who is ready to obey them at any time. In the same way, following all the rules and restrictions determined by the tribe are accepted as axiom. Primitive human greatly respects own customs and traditions, automatically submits to orders. Everything is based on the fear of supernatural ideas and punishments, in addition to deep loyalty to “group feeling”. However, has there ever been any person -whether civilized or primitive - who followed the undesired, boring rules and taboos without having difficulties? Nevertheless, this understanding is dominant in the studies about primitive order and primitive rules.
