Abstract
There are two things I would like to do in this paper. The first is to develop in very brief outline a theoretical paradigm of the principal axes of potential cleavage and conflict in modem-type social systems, meaning to apply it to the society as a whole. The second will be to attempt to apply this to what I see to be the situation in the Republic of South Africa as of something close to the present time.
