Rules find themselves in policies, laws, processes, agreements, etc.

Whenever change occurs, it transforms our circumstances. As a consequence, new rules are created and added. After a while, it becomes the so-called bureaucracy.

We can try to get rid of bureaucracy by reducing the number of rules or simplifying them.

However, when this process has been going on for too long, it is probable that people forget what the rules stand for. Maybe even because they started to disagree with the values these rules describe.

That’s a moment in time when the change we look for as a community isn’t a new rule or a new set of rules. That’s when we need to revisit the values themselves.

Questions that appear: What do we expect from individuals, and how do we want to treat them? What do we expect society to do for the community, and how should it prepare for our future?
