Philosophy of Authority:
The Three Variables of Cause

1.) Fake Act of Expression
a) False approval for actions taken
b) Belief in a set of guidelines
1) No ethical background
c) Distinctive representation of reflecting thoughts
1) Subject’s knowledge becomes flawed
2) Takes place only during an act
2.) Superiority
a) Ultimate power leads to high ego
b) Greatest determining factor in an outcome
1) Difference in civilian’s status
a) Middle-class, Asian, family, friends, etc…
c) Personal value becomes impersonal to those around
1) Subject shares information not regularly spoken of
a) Shows pride in work ethics
1) Pressures to conform to the standard
3.) Feeling of Incapability
a) Leads to loss of justice
b) Prestigious, but not
1) Subject wants to be something more
c) Involvement more than required
1) Small tasks become of great interest
a) Also due to superiority
1) Needs to be known
d) Dangerous for both the subject and the civilian

This is my idea of authority only of its cause and some of their external and internal effects. I was wondering if someone can look over it and give their opinions on what I wrote. This is only a rough draft and not the actual paper, so everything I have written are key points of what I have observed.

@Mind,
...whatever you are claiming you need to justify it step by step...so far you have n´t presented a sketch of a tentative of justification...

...but still I think I can tell you something about authority...authority like gravity it is a matter of fact and not a matter of will or moral justification...moral justification is only required for authority if it is proven morality is required...so far as I can tell the weight of my body does not require gravity having any kind of moral justification and nevertheless I am authoritatively compelled to deal with it...
