Understanding Basic Human Societies
Summary:
A "society" refers to a group of people sharing a territory and a unique culture, with common institutions and beliefs. Societies are often unified by shared goals. Based on their means of subsistence, societies are classified into four main types: hunter-gatherer, nomadic pastoral, horticultural, and intensive agricultural (civilizations).
Types of Human Societies:
1. Hunter-Gatherer Societies:
- Subsist through foraging for edible plants and hunting wild animals.
- Do not focus on domestication.
2. Nomadic Pastoral Societies:
- Centered around the domestication and farming of animals like cattle, camels, sheep, goats, and yaks.
- Characterized by mobility, moving herds to find water and fresh pasture.
3. Horticultural Societies:
- Focused on growing plants and producing crops such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries.
- Emphasize storage, processing, and transport of plant products.
4. Agricultural Societies (Civilizations):
- Involve raising and processing livestock alongside crop cultivation and harvesting.
- Support both plant and animal domestication.
Industrial and Post-Industrial Societies:
- Industrial Societies:
- Engage in manufacturing and marketing goods and services, often requiring large capital investments.
- By 2005, the financial services sector was the largest globally.
- Post-Industrial Societies:
- Evolved from industrial societies due to breakthroughs like the information technology revolution.
- Rely on information, creativity, skills, and knowledge.
- Characterized by a surge in service industries surpassing manufacturing.
Criticism and Challenges:
While post-industrial societies represent the peak of social evolution, they face criticism. The rise of new developments can displace traditional industries, changing community landscapes.
