Concept in Definition ABC

The adjective superior indicates that something has a characteristic that, in some sense, is better in relation to another thing or person. The idea of ​​superiority implies a value, which can be quantitative and measurable or, on the contrary, a qualitative question and therefore more subjective and opinionable.

Objectivity or subjectivity in relation to superiority depends on the context of the language

Let's take a concrete example. If we say "the Russian athlete is superior to the German" it can mean two different things:

1- That in an objective way the first one is better (for example, because he has personal marks of a higher level).
2- That the first one has better conditions, regardless of the records that he obtains.

The concept of superior also has a descriptive sense. Thus, if something is in a higher part, it can be said that it is located at a higher level. When classifying a series of data, the ordering of the same is a purely descriptive matter and there is no one connotation qualitative or quantitative.

Understanding the term in the professional field

The term superior is used as a synonym for boss, that is, the person who has a higher hierarchical position category in relation to other individuals. This happens in any human organization (of type labor, religious, military and others), in which it is necessary to establish a structure to define different responsibilities and functions.

The superiority complex and the idea of ​​comparison

The idea of ​​superior usually has a variable: its comparative component. If we say that we are on a higher level, this is so because there is another lower level. And the same happens in whatever sense we use the word superior, since its meaning always refers to its opposite, the inferior.

The term superior has a very curious meaning and is related to the psychology human: the superiority complex. There are individuals who have a feeling of inferiority and to compensate they convince themselves and believe themselves superior.

A higher being

The reality that surrounds us forces us to wonder about the origin of everything. Before this questionSome consider that only a higher being can be the cause of everything that surrounds us. Is belief is based on a component founded on religious faith and, at the same time, on an idea rational, since everything necessarily has a cause. Even those who defend the existence of the world as a phenomenon of nature (the famous big Bang) understand that it is not incompatible with the existence of a higher being.
