Bureaucracy is the method of creating and insuring the
application of those rules and regulations that are needed in order for individuals to
live together. Bureaucrats are the writers, administrators, evaluators, and enforcers of
the policies and procedures established by society.
In an
ideal world, I suppose bureaucracy would not be needed because people wouldn't need
rules and regulations. If all people were willing to cooperate and share and respect
each other all the time, we could dispense with the need for creating and enforcing
expectations regarding how people should treat one another in all the situations that
arise in communities. Since we don't live in a utopian setting, we need the bureaucracy
that provides a framework of guidelines for coexistence.
