SOC 3113 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Industrial Revolution, Social Change
Document Summary
Theoretical typology a scheme that classifies a phenomenon into different categories. By categorizing things, we can make them more apparent and more easily explained. We categorize all sorts of things in everyday life: (cid:373)ovies, people, u(cid:374)iversities, . Social change (evolution of society) rooted in division of labor. Increases in division of labor moved society from mechanical (based on sameness) to organic (based on differences) We moved on to being based on sameness to based on differences because we now depend on people who can do what we cannot. Integration: the blending and organizing of separate and diverser elements into a more complete balanced whole.
