Module 12- Comparative Analysis of Social System

I. Social systems

- Social systems are regarded as open systems, that is, the individuals in a social system
have regular interactions with their environing systems. The environing systems include
cultural and personality systems, behavioral and other subsystems of the organism, and
physical environment through the organism.

II. Analysis of different social systems

- A theoretical framework known as social systems theory articulates or characterizes one

field of systems in relation to another that is also a component of the same basic, larger
system.

Structural and Functional Mode of Analysis

- A framework for analyzing social phenomena and processes that sees them as
components of a structurally stratified whole with each structural component serving a
specific purpose.

Dynamic Mode of Analysis

- The two dynamic modes of study are interested in potential system reorganization and
structural change as a result of structural differentiation. It would be challenging to keep
the social system organized and in order because social changes are unavoidable.

Hierarchy of Relations of Control

- The fundamental subsystems of the overall system of action are a hierarchy of these
agencies that regulate the conduct of people or other species. the two primary empirical
sites at which this control system functions. First, the context in which a specific
individual behaves is made up of other people who are arranged in sets according to
how they relate to the particular point.
