There was a recent story in the news in regards to the first baby boy born to a japanese royal family in 41 years - it was a big story because only males can ascend to the throne and they were thinking of changing the law because males were not being born.

The native Australians think the same thing. The monarchy is a tradition, and a very expensive one at that. I would like to know why that tradition is upheld because they have no power. they are basically useless.

Leadership associated with a position of authority\nIn On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, Thomas Carlyle demonstrated the concept of leadership associated with a position of authority. In praising Oliver Cromwell's use of power to bring King Charles I to trial and eventual beheading, he wrote the following: "Let us remark, meanwhile, how indispensable everywhere a King is, in all movements of men. It is strikingly shown, in this very War, what becomes of men when they cannot find a Chief Man, and their enemies can." [3]\n\nFrom this viewpoint, leadership emerges when an entity as "leader" contrives to receive deference from other entities who become "followers". And as the passage from Carlyle demonstrates, the process of getting deference can become competitive in that the emerging "leader" draws "followers" from the factions of the prior or alternative "leaders".\n\nThe United States constitution provides another example of recycling authority. In the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the American Founders rejected the idea of a monarch. But they still proposed leadership by people in positions of authority, with the authority split into three powers: in this case the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. Under the American theory, the authority of the leadership derives from the power of the voters as conveyed through the electoral college. Many individuals share leadership, including the many legislators in the Senate and the House of Representatives. [4]

One of the 10 commandments is to Honor your father and mother.  Alot of elderly are seen as parents my many, even though that many may not even be related.  \n\nAs of the rights, and in laws, rules, etc., they have guidelines, too.\n\nBut they all deserve respect because they hold our history in their minds and hearts.

The Federal Government hitherto had employed various means of conflict resolution including gunboat diplomacy. However, of recent the involvement of local elders in negotiations seems to be fruitful. There are ongoing efforts to include these elders in the drafting of multilateral agreements between the communities, oil companies and government.

Authority: They make the rules.\nRules:     Without them there would be anarchy.\nProperty:  You should respect other people's property if you expect them to respect yours.\nOpinion:  You should respect other peoples' opinions even though you may not agree with them. they have a right to express a reasonable opinion; as long as expressing that opinion isn't harmful to society as a whole. For example racist or extremist opinions.
