Enumerate and discuss the following:

Dramatic Changes in Society

1. Technological and Economic Changes

 Technology has deeply affected the global economy and its usage has been linked
to marketplace transformation, improved living standards and more robust
international trade. 

2. Modernization

 The process of moving from an agrarian to industrial society.

3.  Urbanization

 When large populations live in urban areas rather than rural areas.

4.  Bureaucratization

 Process by which most formal organizations in a society (businesses, government,

non-profits) run their organizations via the use of extreme rational and impersonal
thinking, an extreme division of labor, and record keeping all tasks and functions
broken down into small parts which become positions in the organizational
hierarchy.

 Roles attached to positions. Pay and benefits attached to positions not persons.

5. Conflict and Competition

 In competition the direct aim is the success of the actor in achieving the goal;
indirectly, it may result in the failure of the competition but in conflict the direct
result of the action of one person is to impede, prevent or destroy the act of
another.
 6. Political and Legal Power

 Political power is the ability to control the behavior of people through the
passage, approval, and implementation of laws and regulations.

7. Ideology

  is a system of ideas, beliefs, ideals and principles that guide the social, cultural
political and economic functioning of a society.

8. Diffusion

 Rate at which populations adopt new goods and services.

9. Acculturation

 assimilation to a different culture, typically the dominant one.

10. Evolution

 It is thus inevitable that all societies change. Specific theories of social or

cultural evolution often attempt to explain differences between coeval societies by
positing that different societies have reached different stages of development.

Areas of Sociology
The term “sociology” was coined by August Comte in the nineteenth century from the Latin
word “socios” (companion with others) and the Greek word “logos” (reason) to describe the new
science of social life.

nj
1. Social Organization

 Social organization alludes to a design of connections between and among diverse

bunches and person individuals. Social organization may be said to the basic
premise of cutting edge society, because it permits for the carrying out of
exceptionally complex exercises that other individuals of society either take an
interest in or are influenced by.

2. Sociological Social Psychology

  Sociological social brain research emphasizes the relationship between person
individuals and the bigger social structures and forms in which they take an
interest. Whereas the think about of social organization and structure is the
characterizing center of humanism, all social structure comes out of intuitive
between people.

3. Social Change

 Sociologists are curious about considering both “what is” and “what changes.” In

this sense, social alter alludes to any modification in how a society is organized.

4. Human Ecology

 This is the study of the nature and behavior of a given population and its
interaction with the surrounding environment.

5. Population and Demographics

 This range of think about is concerned with the think about of populace number,
composition, alter, and quality and how these components impact the bigger
financial, social, and political frameworks.

6. Applied Sociology

 This field is concerned with utilizing sociological issues to fathom social issues.
For occasion, a few of the most social issues where I live incorporate squatters,
prostitution, too-large families, nurture deficiencies, and destitute nourishment.

7. Sociological Methods & Research

 This field is concerned with the appropriateness of sociological standards and

experiences to consider and direct peoples’ social environment.

Subdivisions of Anthropology
Anthropology may be best viewed as the comparative scientific study of human societies
and cultures throughout the world and throughout time.

There are four subdivisions, or subdisciplines, in anthropology: cultural anthropology,

archaeology, physical (biological) anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.
 1. Cultural Anthropology

 Cultural anthropology deals with the origins, history, and development of human
culture. Cultural anthropologists often, although not always, tend to study groups
that have different goals, values, views of reality, and environmental adaptations
that are very different from those of themselves.

2. Archaeology

 Archaeology can be defined as the study and interpretation of past societies and
cultures from the earliest of times to the present. 

3. Physical (Biological) Anthropology

 Physical, or biological, anthropology focuses on the study of biological aspects of

human beings, past and present.

4. Linguistic Anthropology, or Linguistics

 Linguistics is the study of language. Although linguistics is classified as a

subdiscipline of anthropology, it often tends to be a discipline of its own,
especially at large universities. 

Fields of Anthropology

1. Archeology

 Archaeology understands the past through pre-historic and historical materials,

architectural features, landscapes, and remains.

2. Bio-anthropology

 Bio-anthropology examines human and non-human primate evolution, ecology,

behavior, and bio-cultural variation.

3. Linguistic anthropology 

 Linguistic anthropology studies the many ways language reflects and influences

social life.
4. Social-cultural Anthropology
 examines social patterns and processes within and across cultures.
