This document defines and describes different types of human settlements from small hamlets to large cities. It discusses the historical shift from rural villages to urbanization and growth of cities due to industrialization. It also describes the expansion of cities through suburbanization and formation of metropolitan areas and exurbs. Finally, it notes current trends towards more people living in large cities of over 1 million compared to smaller towns and cities.
This document discusses the role of women in agriculture and the gender dynamics within rural economies. Some key points:
- Women make up a significant portion of the agricultural workforce globally and in developing countries, comprising 43% globally and performing many labor-intensive tasks.
- However, their contributions are often undervalued and they face numerous constraints that reduce their productivity, including less access to resources, education, and decision-making power compared to men.
- Economic and social changes are transforming agriculture and increasing the demand for female labor in some areas like export crops, but women still tend to work in lower-paid, lower-status, and more insecure jobs than men. They have less land ownership and control over decisions
Marxist Critical Inquiry outlines key concepts of Marxism including base and superstructure, economic determinism, and false consciousness. It discusses how Marxist critical inquiry can be applied to research in social sciences and literature. Marxism holds that economic factors determine society and that literature reflects class struggle and materialism.
Parsons was a pioneer of functionalism in sociology. He introduced a grand theory of social action and social systems that aimed to provide a universal framework for understanding all human behavior. His theory of social action defined it as any consciously performed act. He also developed a systems approach, analyzing society as a system with four subsystems that perform the functions of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and pattern maintenance. Parsons' theories were highly abstract and criticized for being difficult to empirically test.
David Harvey is a prominent Marxist geographer and author born in 1935 in England. He moved to the US in 1969 and has been a professor at the City University of New York. Some of his major works applying Marxist methodology to geographical and urban issues include Social Justice and the City (1973), The Limits to Capital (1982), The Condition of Postmodernity (1989), Spaces of Hope (2000), and Spaces of Global Capitalism (2006). Harvey analyzes topics such as gentrification, urbanization, globalization, and neoliberalism through a Marxist historical materialist lens and geographical perspective.
Neo-functionalism emerged in the 1980s as a revision and expansion of Parsonian functionalism. Jeffrey Alexander and Paul Colomy are the main proponents of neo-functionalism in the US. They define it as a self-critical strand of functional theory that broadens its scope while retaining its theoretical core. Specifically, neo-functionalism aims to incorporate conflict, subjective meaning, contingency, and creativity into functionalism, address its anti-individualism and resistance to change, and analyze systems as tendencies rather than givens. It also pushes functionalism to the left by rejecting optimism about modernity and emphasizing democracy.
This document summarizes key concepts about social change and modernization from a sociology course. It defines social change as community responses that address social problems by transforming culture and institutions over time. It discusses Max Weber's view that social change stems from new ideas. Important causes of change include inventions, discoveries, and the diffusion of ideas between societies. Social movements are classified based on who and how much change they seek. Modernization describes the transformation of traditional societies through economic development and changes to social, political, and cultural structures, characterized by declining communities, expanded personal choice, a future orientation, and replacing tradition with rational thinking.

The document provides an overview of Emile Durkheim, a founding father of sociology. It discusses that Durkheim developed the sociological perspective of functionalism. Functionalism views society as a system of interrelated parts that work together to maintain stability and social order. The document also summarizes Durkheim's major works, including The Division of Labor in Society and Suicide: A Study in Sociology, in which he analyzed how social integration and regulation impact suicide rates. Durkheim is considered one of the first modern sociologists and helped establish sociology as a science that studies social institutions and social facts.
Modernity refers to a historical period beginning in the 15th century that saw the rise of capitalism, industrialization, and secular rational thinking. It is divided into three phases: early modernity from 1453-1789, classical modernity from 1789-1900, and late modernity from 1900-1989. Modernism emerged in response to industrialization and urbanization in the 19th-20th centuries and is reflected in artistic and cultural movements. While related, modernity refers to a specific time period, whereas modernism refers to trends in art, culture, and social relations characterized by the development of the modern world.
Marx saw religion as a feature that arises only in class-divided societies as a way for the ruling class to control the working class and justify their suffering. Religion creates a false consciousness by masking the real problems of exploitation under capitalism and distracting people with promises of reward in the afterlife. However, Marx ignores positive functions of religion and neo-Marxists argue some forms can assist class consciousness.

The document discusses the topic of modernization. It defines modernization as the process of industrialization, urbanization, and other social changes that transform people's lives. It then covers some key aspects of modernization including social change brought about by new inventions and discoveries, cultural diffusion, characteristics such as the decline of traditional communities and increased bureaucratization. The document also provides a history of modernization, touching on developments in global communication technologies, the roles of industrialization, colonialism, and the spread of ideologies in the modernization process.
Max Weber (1864-1920) was a German sociologist who studied social action and developed theories of bureaucracy, ideal types, and rationalization. He identified four main types of social action - goal-oriented rational, value-oriented rational, affective, and traditional - and recognized that most behavior involves a mix of motivations. Weber also developed the concept of ideal types to allow for historical comparative study and described bureaucracy as a rationally organized means of carrying out social action through a hierarchy with specialized roles and standardized rules of conduct.
This document discusses urban environmental degradation in the Caribbean and Latin America. It defines key terms like urban area and environmental degradation. The main causes of urban environmental degradation are identified as poverty, pollution, overpopulation, lack of education, and industrialization. Effects include death, disease, biodiversity loss, and economic impacts. Proposed remedies include green restoration projects, smart city planning, poverty alleviation, and education.
Louis Althusser was a major proponent of structural Marxism. He argued that Marx underwent an "epistemological break" where his early works were humanist but his later works like Capital advocated an objective, scientific approach. Althusser believed society consisted of a base of economic structures and a superstructure of political and ideological institutions that help reproduce capitalism. He defined the Repressive State Apparatus (RSA) that uses force and the Ideological State Apparatus (ISA) like education that promotes capitalist ideology through indoctrination. Althusser was influential in the 1960-70s but later faced criticism for being too abstract and deterministic.
G.S. Ghurye was a pioneering Indian sociologist who made immense contributions to developing the fields of sociology and anthropology in India. He wrote 32 books and numerous papers covering diverse topics. As the first head of the Department of Sociology at Bombay University from 1924-1959, he played a key role in professionalizing sociology. He founded the Indian Sociological Society and its journal, training many talented students who advanced research. Ghurye studied caste, tribe, culture, religion and more, providing new theoretical perspectives. He analyzed Indian society from both textual and empirical perspectives in a methodologically pluralistic way.
Dependency theory argues that poorer countries are prevented from developing due to their economic dependence on richer countries. It was popularized in the 1960s by Raúl Prebisch and other Latin American economists and theorists. They proposed that poorer countries pursue import substitution to reduce reliance on manufactured goods from richer nations. However, this was difficult due to smaller internal markets, lack of control over primary commodities, and insufficient political will. Major dependency theorists like Andre Gunder Frank, Theotonio dos Santos, Samir Amin, and Immanuel Wallerstein expanded on these ideas, arguing that underdevelopment is generated by capitalism and the unequal power dynamics between core and peripheral nations.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher who believed that capitalism would inevitably be replaced by communism. He developed a theory of history and economics known as historical materialism and dialectical materialism. Some key aspects of Marx's economic theory include his labor theory of value, analysis of surplus value and exploitation of workers, ideas about the reserve army of unemployed helping to keep wages low, and prediction that the rate of profit would tend to fall over time under capitalism. Marx saw capitalism containing the seeds of its own destruction through business cycles and the increasing misery of the proletariat class.
Ralf Dahrendorf was a German sociologist known for his work explaining class divisions in modern society. His most influential work, Class and Class Conflict in Industrial Society (1959), argued that classes form based on authority rather than wealth. He believed capitalism had changed since Marx, and that the struggle for authority creates social conflict. However, his theory did not significantly address culture, citizenship, and identity.
Urbanisation in bangladesh : Recent trends and challengesReyad Hossain
The key drivers of urban growth have been natural increase of urban populations, expansion of existing urban areas, reclassification of areas as urban, and rural to urban migration. However, urbanisation has also created challenges related to spatial imbalance, lack of employment opportunities, inadequate housing and infrastructure, environmental degradation, and governance issues. The document recommends addressing these challenges through balanced regional development, rural economic opportunities, basic services in rural areas, and improved governance.
Jean-François Lyotard was a French philosopher known for articulating postmodernism after the 1970s and analyzing its impact on the human condition. He opposed universals, meta-narratives, and generality, rejecting grand theories like progress of history. Most famously, in The Postmodern Condition, Lyotard proposed an "incredulity towards meta-narratives," arguing we no longer believe grand narratives adequately represent us all.

This document discusses urban growth and urbanization in India. It defines urban growth as the rate at which a city's population increases, and urbanization as the process by which there is an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas. The major causes of urbanization in India are industrialization, which provides more jobs, as well as opportunities for better education, healthcare, and standards of living that attract people to cities. However, rapid urbanization can also lead to issues like overcrowding, poverty, and pollution. The document provides statistics on India's past and projected urbanization rates and their economic and social impacts.
Max Weber was a German sociologist and political economist known for his ideas of ideal types, social action, and forms of authority and legitimacy. Some of his major works examined the Protestant work ethic and relationship between Protestantism and the rise of capitalism. He is considered a founder of sociology and developed concepts such as ideal types, which are analytical constructs used for comparative analysis. Weber saw sociology as the science of interpreting social action and delineated four types: rational, value-rational, traditional, and affectual. His theories profoundly influenced social science.
The document discusses the impact of human-caused climate change and the incompatibility of capitalism with addressing environmental issues. It summarizes Marx and Engels' views on human relationships with nature and the environment. It argues that inequality cannot be addressed without revolutionizing production to be more sustainable and that environmentalism without anti-capitalism has limitations.
This document provides an overview of postmodernism and its key concepts. It discusses how postmodernism challenged modernist ideas like scientific positivism and human progress. Some of the main tenets of postmodernism discussed are the elevation of text/language, questioning reality/representation, and critiquing metanarratives. The document also examines postmodernism's influence in fields like anthropology, architecture, and its critique of colonialism. Several influential postmodern thinkers are profiled like Derrida, Foucault, and Baudrillard.
