Of course‚ a few organizations combine two or even all three types. Nevertheless‚ school officials who attempt to use types of power that are not appropriate for the environment can reduce organizational effectiveness. Schools tend to be normative organizations. According to this logic‚ oppressive use of coercive and utilitarian power with teachers and students can

non-analytic naturalism‚ it is possible for normative properties to be reducible to natural properties without running into Moore’s OQA. However‚ this move met an objection by Derek Parfit‚ known as the Triviality Objection. In this essay‚ I will attempt to show that Parfit’s Triviality Objection does not succeed in proving that Non-Analytical Naturalism is incoherent by disagreeing with the view that once reduction is made‚ identity claims cease to be normative altogether.

In their view‚ sociology should strive to be value-free‚ objective‚ or at least to avoid making explicit value-judgements.
