Types of Society Week 4

1. Types of Society

3. Socio-cultural evolution
• Sociocultural evolution is an umbrella term for theories of cultural
evolution and social evolution, describing how cultures and
societies have developed over time.
• Although such theories typically provide models for understanding
the relationship between technologies, social structure, the values
of a society, and how and why they change with time, they vary as
to the extent to which they describe specific mechanisms of
variation and social change.

5. What can you say about the picture?

8. •The primary institution is the family, which decides how food
is to be shared and how children are to be socialized, and
which provides for the protection of its members.
•They tend to be small, with fewer than fifty members.
•They tend to be nomadic, moving to new areas when the
current food supply in a given area has been exhausted.
•Members display a high level of interdependence.
•Labor division is based on gender: men hunt, and women
gather.
•The First Social Revolution—the domestication of plants and
animals—led to the birth of the horticultural and pastoral
societies.

11. What can you say about the picture?

17. •A pastoral society is a group of people who live a nomadic or
semi-nomadic lifestyle while also herding and caring for
agricultural animals.
•The term ''pastoral'' comes from the Latin word pastor,
meaning ''shepherd.‘’
•This is appropriate, as pastoralists are necessarily shepherds.
•Pastoral societies typically domesticate large herbivores and
use them for food and labor.
•Common animals domesticated in pastoral societies include
reindeer, cows, sheep, goats, horses, yaks, and camels.

21. • People in an agricultural society generally lead a
more settled lifestyle than those in nomadic
hunter-gatherer or semi-nomadic pastoral
societies because they live permanently near the
land that is farmed.
• Agricultural settlements tend to develop in areas
of convenience near bodies of water, which is
used for both crops and transportation, or along
trade routes.
• Not everyone in an agricultural society is a farmer.
Some people make a living trading or making and
selling goods such as tools used for farming

24. • industrial society is a society driven by the use of technology and machinery to
enable mass production, supporting a large population with a high capacity
for division of labor.
• Such a structure developed in the Western world in the period of time
following the Industrial Revolution, and replaced the agrarian societies of the
pre-modern.
• Industrial societies are generally mass societies, and may be succeeded by an
information society. They are often contrasted with traditional societies.
• Industrial societies use external energy sources, such as fossil fuels, to
increase the rate and scale of production.

27. • Sociologist Daniel Bell made the term "post-industrial" popular in
1973 after discussing the concept in his book "The Coming of Post-
Industrial Society: A Venture in Social Forecasting." He described the
following shifts associated with post-industrial societies:
• Production of goods (like clothing) declines and the production of services (like
restaurants) goes up.
• Manual labor jobs and blue collar jobs are replaced with technical and professional
jobs.
• Society experiences a shift from focusing on practical knowledge to theoretical
knowledge. The latter involves the creation of new, invention solutions.
• There is a focus on new technologies, how to create and utilize them as well as
harness them.
• New technologies foster the need for new scientific approaches like IT and
cybersecurity.
• Society needs more college graduates with advanced knowledge who can help
develop and advance technological change.
