AUTHORITATIVE

Authoritative is defined here as meaning that the authority for human activity and behavior derives from something outside the individual, which is superior and in which the individual should conform and correspond, like religion, morality, humanism, or any objectives of personal progressive transformation. These authorities in terms of politics are termed Authoritative Dictates. The term Authoritative as used here means that the structure, constitution, composition and actions of government, individuals, groups or organizations, are authorized by 'superior' states or entities, which in general are considered as progressed from both nature and what is natural. In progressive social structures, the individual is expected to conform and correspond to models of progressed and superior constitution and character, which are personal or are institutionalized as systems, social organizations, religions and government.
