Unyielding bureaucracy from "summary" of Franz Kafka by Stanley Corngold
The unrelenting nature of bureaucracy can be a source of great frustration and confusion for people. Social systems can be rigid and inflexible, creating roadblocks to progress and thwarting individual aspirations. The effects of this kind of power structure often lead to feelings of helplessness and despair.- Bureaucracy can often cause difficulty in getting important tasks accomplished. It seems as though paperwork and rules never end, and progress is halted at every turn.
- Before any kind of change or development can happen, it is sometimes necessary to scale the mountain of bureaucratic requirements which oftentimes are difficult and time consuming.
- Dealing with far reaching government agencies and other bureaucratic bodies can feel like an unbearable burden.
- Bowing to pressure from bureaucratic systems is a real problem for people who need to provide information quickly or have their applications approved as soon as possible.
- There is nothing like trying to navigate a complex maze of bureaucrats and departments just to get one’s message across.
- The lack of flexibility and refusal to look objectively at an issue creates a barrier between those trying to accomplish something and those in power who can decide if change will occur.
