SOCIOL 144 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Population Ecology, Population Model, European Cooperation In Science And Technology
Document Summary
Stage 1, variation: random, haphazard change in genetic structure, change is not purposive. Stage 2, selection: organisms with different genetic makeup compete for survival and opportunity to reproduce, organism that survives has characteristics that best fit features of ecology. Stage 3, retention: selected organisms reproduce and pass on genes. Population ecology look at biological model and how the ecology influences organism and transfer that model and say how does an ecology of an organization influence an organization a particular environment is looking for) Fit between the organization and the environment it"s in. In conclusion: biological model stems from a random environment by the ecology, some sort of random genetic variation, acquired characterisitcs arent passed on. Stage 1, variation: change takes place in culture (e. g. , new ideas, new inventions, new beliefs, etc. Stage 2, selection: cultural elements compete for survival, elements which survive have best fit with needs of society.
