In the sociological, economic, and political realms, vertical allegiances are those between superiors and inferiors. Examples would be work supervisors and ordinary workers; parents and children; military ranks at all levels and those they outrank. Horizontal allegiances are those between individuals where no one outranks anyone else. Workers in factories, siblings, military men of the same rank. Bureaucracies heavily depend on vertical allegiances to organize productive activity. In our personal and social lives we all depend on horizontal allegiances for the bulk of our affective relationships (friendship, love, marriage).
