Assignment TM.12 Agricultural and Rural Sociology

1. Social changes in agriculture can involve social values, social norms,
behavioral patterns in organizations, institutions that exist in the social system,
layers in society, social interaction, power and authority in society.
2. Changes in social dimensions are divided into 3, namely:
a. The dimension of cultural change that occurs in society gives rise to
cultural innovation, there is cultural innovation marked by the emergence
of new technology, so that people's needs are increasingly complex, so that
they can change the lifestyle that exists in society. For example, the change
in lifestyle in a village that initially only had coffee shops, now there are
several cafes complete with WiFi facilities.
b. The dimension of structural change is a change in the shape of the structure
of society which involves changes in roles, the emergence of new roles,
changes in social class structures, and changes in social institutions. For
example, there is a change in the addition or reduction of the role of the
community in the field of education, initially in a village there is no high
school so that the average education of the community in the village is
only up to junior high school. However, after the existence of a high school
in the village, the village community was able to attend high school to
college.
c. The dimension of interactional change is a change in frequency.
Technological developments have led to a reduction in the frequency of
individuals to meet each other face to face, all needs to interact can be met
with the existence of technology. The development of information and
communication technology has shifted the face-to-face function in a
limited or unlimited interaction process. For example, with mobile phone
technology, people don't waste time and energy, it is enough to use mobile
phones to communicate. Not only young people, but parents also choose
to use cellphones rather than face to face interactions because of the
efficiency of time and energy.
These changes also have an impact on the thinking of the village
community on the gender aspect, especially the view of women. The
 position of women is considered equal to that of men. Not only in terms of
education but also in terms of work. Women do not only work in the
domestic sector but can also work in the public sector.
3. There are internal factors and external factors to changes in social dimensions
in society.
a. Internal factors
An increase in the level of education causes the mindset of the community,
especially children, to change to become more advanced even though it
can be a boomerang for their parents and will cause changes in social
stratification between children who only graduate from junior high school
and those who graduate from high school to continue to college.
b. External factors
The entry of foreign cultures in the era of globalization has a very rapid
impact on people's lives. The development of mass media such as
television, radio, internet, and telecommunications media has led to
changes in lifestyle for the community, especially in villages so that many
teenagers are carried away by the flow of western and Korean culture. In
addition, different cultures can also be obtained from immigrant
communities. Indirectly, the existence of immigrant communities brought
changes to the indigenous people of the village, because the immigrants
brought changes both in terms of habits, clothing, and mindset.
4. The comparison was state in the time change occurs. In the theory of the
dimension of social change in rural areas, it is stated that it seems as if these
changes occur rapidly, whereas in fact during the case studies/articles written
by Cholifah and Hariyanto (2017) this change occurs gradually as the times
and existing technology develop.
