In what social systems or institutions, besides religion, might we see mimetic desire at work?
Mimetic desire is at work in every social system and every institution. When people are in a dispute, we often resort to making negative accusations against the other. When we do this, we attempt to gain at the expense of the other person. This is shown in business meetings, teacher meetings, community and national politics, and, of course, celebrity gossip.
