Society
Society is an organized group of people
whose member interact frequently and have a
common territory and culture. Society also
refers to a companionship or friendly
association with others, an alliance,
community, or a union
 Social Conflict Theory
Enlightenment philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes,
John Locke, and Jean Jacques Rousseau were among the
most prominent social theorists who tackled the origins
of human society. To fully understand the true character
of society, they imagined humans as living in a so-called
"natural state," removed from modernity and civilization.
What are the different
forms of societies?
Hunting and Gathering
Society
This is recognized as the earliest and
simplest form of society. It is
generally characterized by it`s small
size and is composed mainly of
families.
Pastoral Society
This type of society is characterized by the
domestication of animals for food for a more
stable and predictable food supply. Pastoral
communities have larger populations than
hunting and gathering socities and remain
longer in one place.
Horticultural Society
A horticultural society primarily engages in the
small-scale cultivation of plants, fruits, and
vegetables and the domestication of animals.
Horticultural societies are semi-nomadic, which
means that they travel to another place when they
have already depleted the resources in one area.
Agrarian or Agricultural Society
This type of society is a further evolution of the
pastoral and horticultural societies and this society
is characterized by improved technology and the
use of tools to aid in farming. Agriculture involves
the large-scale and long-term cultivation of crops
and domestication of animals.
Feudal Society
Feudal societies arose out of developments in
Western Europe during Medieval times, when
rival kingdoms were engaged in conflict over
resources, particularly land. In a feudal society,
rulers grant their followers or vassals the right
to manage parcels of land.
Industrial Society
An industrial society is based on the use of
specialized machinery in the production of goods
and services. The advances in science and
technology in the late 18th century resulted in the
Industrial Revolution, which in turn gave rise to
new production and industrial methods, as well as
innovations in transportation and communication.
Post-Industrial Society
The post-industrial society is marked by the
establishment of societies based on knowledge,
information, and the sale of services. Led by the
human mind and aided by highly advanced
technology, the trend has shifted from industry to
the generation, storage, manipulation, and sale of
information.
