well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws,
customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals

 is the characteristics and knowledge of a
particular group of people, encompassing
language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music
and arts. ... The word "culture" derives from a
French term, which in turn derives from the Latin
"colere," which means to tend to the earth and
grow, or cultivation and nurture

underlying assumptions, attitudes, and
behaviors shared by a group of people.

is the national language, although it is the native
tongue of less than a quarter of the
population. English is widely spoken, Spanish much
less so. There are around 170 indigenous languages

or standard.
 They are most commonly defined as rules
or expectations that are socially enforced.

Norms  Norms may be prescriptive (encouraging

positive behavior; for example, “be
honest”) or proscriptive (discouraging
negative behavior; for example, “do not
cheat”).

interpersonal relationships, or a large

Society  Human societies are characterized by

patterns of relationships (social relations)
between individuals who share a
distinctive culture and institutions; a given
society may be described as the total of
such relationships among its constituent
members.

urban development, social stratification,

separation from and domination over the

Mechanism of Change

 With a society changing as fast as the society found inside America, sociologist found it easiest to
predict changer based on three essential "social processes". These processes are the causes that
result in significant social change.
 Discovery
Social Process:
Invention

Diffusion
  "the process by which something is
learned or reinterpreted".
 influences change by causing people to
learn new things which may change their
viewpoints, or change their routine to
better themselves based off of the new
information found through discovery.

Discovery:  For example, when early explorers began

to explore the ocean, they discovered that
the Earth wasn't flat, but rather was round.
 This lead to new maps being printed, as
well as new waterways and trade-routes
developing due to new exploration under
the idea that there was no "end of the
Earth" to fall off of.
  "the creation of something new from
previously existing items or processes".
 Invention changes society by providing it
with new items and ideas which continue
to evolve into easier, more efficient
processes.
 For example, when the airplane was
Invention invented, it lead to faster transportation,
and space exploration.
 Inventions serve as indicators as to how
fast a society will change due to the fact
that the ore inventions existing, then the
more inventions can be developed from
THOSE inventions, and so forth.
  “the process by which one culture or society
borrows from another culture or society”.
 is widely influenced by the contact that one
society has with another; the more interaction
societies have, the easier their cultures will
begin to bleed together.
 Of course, an element from one culture has to
blend well with the life and activities of another
Diffusion before it is adopted.
 Diffusion has occurred within America several
times, such as when the English settlers
developed new planting and harvesting
methods from the Native Americans; the
Native American’s culture provided the settlers
with a means of survival, and therefore the
settlers easily adopted their culture.
SOCIETY

 is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing
the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant
cultural expectations.
 Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who
share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of
such relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often
exhibits stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.
 Societies are social groups that differ according to subsistence strategies, the ways that humans use
technology to provide needs for themselves. Although humans have established many types of
societies throughout history, anthropologists tend to classify different societies according to the
degree to which different groups within a society have unequal access to advantages such as
resources, prestige, or power. Virtually all societies have developed some degree of inequality
among their people through the process of social stratification, the division of members of a society
into levels with unequal wealth, prestige, or power. Sociologists place societies in three broad
categories: pre-industrial, industrial, and postindustrial.
 Pre-Industrial

Society
Industrial

Post Industrial
  In a pre-industrial society, food
production, which is carried out
through the use of human and
animal labor, is the main economic
Pre Industrial activity.
 These societies can be subdivided
according to their level of technology and
their method of producing food.
 Hunting and Gathering

Pre
Pastoral
Industrial
Horticultural

Agricultural
  The main form of food production in
such societies is the daily collection
of wild plants and the hunting of
wild animals.
 Hunter-gatherers move around
Hunting constantly in search of food.
 As a result, they do not build
permanent villages or create a wide
variety of artifacts, and usually only
form small groups such
as bands and tribes.
  Pastoralism is a slightly more efficient form
of subsistence.
 Rather than searching for food on a daily
basis, members of a pastoral society rely
on domesticated herd animals to meet
Pastoral their food needs.
 Pastoralists live a nomadic life, moving
their herds from one pasture to another.
 Because their food supply is far more
reliable, pastoral societies can support
larger populations.
  Fruits and vegetables grown in garden plots
that have been cleared from the jungle or forest
provide the main source of food in a
horticultural society.
 These societies have a level of technology and
complexity similar to pastoral societies.
 Some horticultural groups use the slash-and-
Horticultural burn method to raise crops.
 The wild vegetation is cut and burned, and
ashes are used as fertilizers.
 Horticulturists use human labor and simple
tools to cultivate the land for one or more
seasons. When the land becomes barren,
horticulturists clear a new plot and leave the old
plot to revert to its natural state.
  Agrarian societies use
agricultural technological advances to
cultivate crops over a large area.
 Sociologists use the phrase agricultural
revolution to refer to the technological
changes that occurred as long as 8,500
years ago that led to cultivating crops and
raising farm animals.

Agrarian  Increases in food supplies then led to

larger populations than in earlier
communities.
 This meant a greater surplus, which
resulted in towns that became centers of
trade supporting various rulers, educators,
craftspeople, merchants, and religious
leaders who did not have to worry about
locating nourishment.

.
  In sociology, the post-industrial
society is the stage
Post Industrial of society's development when the
service sector generates more wealth than
the manufacturing sector of the economy.
 1. A transition from the production of goods to the production of
services, with very few firms directly manufacturing any
goods.
2. The replacement of blue-collar manual labourers with
technical and professional workers—such as computer
engineers, doctors, and bankers—as the direct production of
goods is moved elsewhere.
3. The replacement of practical knowledge with theoretical
knowledge.
4. Greater attention being paid to the theoretical

Post Industrial and ethical implications of new technologies, which helps

society avoid some of the negative features of introducing
new technologies, such as environmental accidents and
massive widespread power outages.
5. The development of newer scientific disciplines—such as
those that involve new forms of information
technology, cybernetics, or artificial intelligence—to assess
the theoretical and ethical implications of new technologies.
6. A stronger emphasis on the university and polytechnic
institutes, which produce graduates who create and guide the
new technologies crucial to a postindustrial society.
