Institutions, Collective Responsibility, Egocentrism and Politics in Sierra Leone
The great institutions are the outcome of that organization which human thought naturally takes on when directed for age after age upon a particular subject, and so gradually crystallizes in definite forms—enduring sentiments, beliefs, customs, and symbols. This is the case when there is some deep interest in holding men's attention. Language, government, the church, laws, and customs of property and the family, systems of industry and education, are institutions because they are the working out of permanent needs of human nature.
Individuals as members of society input their beliefs and perceptions to build a desired structure and system of Institutions they create. The sustenance, sustainability, and profitability of these institutions to the needs and desires of the public on whose desire these institutions are created, depends on the amount of ethical and Moral fortitude exercised by those charged to run these institutions.
The latter is determined by the level of involvement of the human and social factors of ego and leadership in the day-to-day management of the institutions.
In Sierra Leone institutions and governance are affected by a poor sense of institution management because of poor Beliefs and perceptions laced with Egocentrism and an overbearing conservatism that sustains an inability to allow change, a constant that changes all the time.
