Document Summary
Transformation of traditional (undifferentiated) societies to modern (differentiated) societies. Undifferentiated: never change, such as the amish people. Modern societies: fewer specialization, low interdependence, highly specialized. Does not depend on anything or anyone else but yourself: particularism, less centralization, high interdependence, universalism, high centralization. A handful of people have so much power of so. Moore"s model of modernization: necessary conditions for industrialization. Change in institution the banks, schools: consequences of industrialization. Demographic and ecological structure: high use of money and market. Many powerful forces in that influences the stock market. Important but declining role of family: widespread bureaucracy, urban and industrial: urban to rural flow of knowledge, goods, and service. Change in organization the way bank, education, politics works. Individual motivation: fertility rate goes down, mortality life expectancy increases, mortality goes down, migration migration rate goes up. Partial restoration of traditional patterns: maybe we have come too far from our modern roots to become a modern man.
