Maintaining order and cleanliness in a home is the responsibility of all its members.
Order is the placement of things in their corresponding place . The term, from the Latin ordo , is also used to name the good arrangement of things among themselves . For example: "Martina, leave your toys in order before your dad arrives," "With the lack of order in this room, it is very difficult for you to find your earrings," "I can't think of how to put them in order." the discs .
Other uses of the concept refer to the series or succession of things and the relationship of one thing with respect to another: "To find the solution to the puzzle, you have to solve the equations in a certain order," "The manager suggested that I save the invoices according to their chronological order» , «Investigators still do not notice any order in the parameters followed by the serial killer» .
a mandate
An order, on the other hand, is an imperative command or instruction , with mandatory compliance: "I'm telling you for the last time: finish the task ." It's an order" , "The boss gave me the order not to give him any calls" , "I don't accept orders from anyone" .
Public order , in this framework, is the set of principles, institutions and commandments that govern social organization . Those who violate public order violate the current legal system.
To guarantee order, the authorities impose laws , rules and regulations that are mandatory . This seeks to ensure that there is discipline , so that individual behaviors do not affect the structure or stability of the system.
Of course, compliance with regulations needs to be monitored. In this sense, there is a social agreement that grants the State the power to regulate and the possibility of setting a sanction for anyone who violates the obligation to fulfill a duty .
However, there are also limits to the actions of politics and governments. The delegation of the administration of justice carried out by people in pursuit of the order of a society does not enable the development of arbitrary procedures or the implementation of control and punishment mechanisms that are not based on the law.
Although it is sometimes believed that ensuring order results in a loss of freedom , there must be a balance. Any restriction that curtails individual autonomy must be consistent with the search for the common good : the priority is the harmony of the whole.
Whoever behaves with respect in their daily routines contributes to peace. It is interesting to mention that it is not always necessary for there to be a court order so that one's actions do not alter the order: an ethical code or belief in a divine mandate can function as behavioral guides.
The State has the obligation to guarantee public order and the safety of each person.
Order in botany
For botany and zoology , the order is each of the taxonomic groups into which a class can be divided.
The orders are also subdivided into families . This means that order is the category that lies between class and family.
Take the case of the domestic dog . This animal of the genus Canis is a subspecies ( Canis lupus familiaris ) of the species Canis lupus , which is part of the order of carnivores . Its taxonomy also indicates that it is part of the Canidae family and the Mammalia class.
The term in Catholicism
In the Catholic Church , religious orders are organizations whose members dedicate their lives to God .
Regarding this type of orders, we would have to say that among the different classes that exist of them, the so-called mendicants stand out. As their name indicates, they are those that are made up of nuns or monks whose objective is to be able to survive on the alms they receive, since they live in an environment of poverty. They are also identified by the fact that they are also subject to the vows of chastity and obedience .
On the other hand, there are monastic orders that, as established by their name, are made up of religious people who live in monasteries and are characterized by leading a contemplative life. What we mean by this is the fact that they spend most of their time praying.
In the workplace, it is common for employees to respect a code of conduct.
The Cistercian Order and the Templar Order
Within this second category, and more exactly within the Catholic religion, is the famous Cistercian Order . This was born in France at the end of the 11th century and has gone down in history for playing a fundamental role in what would be the spread and consolidation of Christianity.
In addition to all this, we must not overlook the well-known Order of the Temple , which continues to arouse so much interest today. It is an order that played a fundamental role in the Middle Ages since its members, the Knights Templar, were responsible for protecting all Christians who made pilgrimages to Jerusalem and carried out the well-known Crusades , holy wars that confronted Muslims. , Jews, Catholics and Cathars.
